The classic tower reflection shot. |
I found the lotus-filled moat more photogenic than Angkor Wat itself. |

These guys were hired by a photographer (no, not me) to pose at the west side of Angkor Wat. |
The Bayon, which from a distance appears to be just a pile of rocks... |
...Reveals delightful details when examined up close. |
The Bayon faces, unforgettable. |
Every one is different. |
Faces in infrared. |
What are they thinking? |
Infrared heads. |
What are you thinking? |
Love the plant protruding from the lips. |
A face you tend to remember. |
So, there's this nun in one of the alcoves... |
...gesturing to me to come up and see her... |
...all happy as I make my way up to her... |
... so we can pray to the Buddha. "Sok Sabaii" |
View out of an alcove. |
Another infrared image. |
Security guards are there to keep visitors from climbing onto restricted areas. This young lady looks totally bored. |

The jungle consumes the temple walls. |
Inside Ta Phrom's courtyard. |

Every visitor to Ta Phrom makes a photo of this tree. |
The jungle wins in the end. |
Making palm sugar... |
... near Banteay Srey. |
Mmmmm, fried bananas. |

Watching all the tourists go by. |
Bang Mealea... |
... is a jungle covered temple... |
... about two hours drive... |
... from Siem Reap. |
I just love ... |
... jungle temples. |
And now, for something... |
... completely different, ... |
... I strongly suggest... |
... you find time to visit... |
... Siem Reap's Butterfly Farm ... |
... if you have camera gear for close-ups. |
