Angkor Wat



Angkor Wat is magnificent. Rather than try to write about it, I thought I would do a series of captioned pictures instead.






The Bayou has about seventy large Buddha heads carved into the side of a series of outcrops. It is quite funky.

This is Ta Phrom, which is where some of the scenes from Tomb Raider were filmed. For those of you who have no interest in Tomb Raider, the main appeal of this temple is the trees which are growing over the temple. In some places the trees are actually holding the temple together.














Marie captured this spectacular fashion crime at Ta Prem.













And finally, a series of doorways which I thought made for a pretty photo at one of the final temples we visited.
