Ta Prohm Temple - in Angkor, Siem Reap Province, Cambodia

Ta Prohm was a Buddhist temple built in the 12th century - originally known as "Monastery of the King." Although the temple is being restored via a Cambodian/Indian project, the building has been left mostly untouched by archaeologists except for the clearing of a path for visitors and structural strengthening to stave of further deterioration. On UNESCO's World Heritage list since 1992.
A large Banyon tree (a fig) is in the middle of the photo.
Ta Prohm is conspicuous in the movie "Tomb Raider" with Angelina Jolie.
