Angkor & Temples

A storm rolled in just in time to create some wonderfully atmospheric images!

Time for more posing at historic sites!

View from off the causeway where all five towers may be seen at once.

The awesome, imperial majesty that is Angkor Wat! One of the world's architectural wonders! Spectacular!

One of the Ta Prohm temples being taken back by the forest, a huge tree and its roots covered in strangler fig.
Ben and Chris posing at the overgrown temples at Ta Prohm, Angkor complex.
Chris and giant stone face (on the statue!) on one of the upper levels.

The incredible and eerie structure that is Angkor Thom. Each square tower has a face on each side staring off into the thick forest.
