The Gate of the Dead

(best seen in original size)

A North view of the gate from top of the
wall surrounding Angkor Thom. The name derives from the
custom of the gate only being used when transporting a king's funeral,
although there is no historical evidence to support.

The guy walking by really gives a great sense of scale. V

I love that the jungle comes right to the foot of the temple; together with those remarkable faces it creates a mood of mystery and an image of beauty. VV

Great sense of depth and scale, like I am there.

Fantastic shot. I didn't see this when I was there. Now I will want to go back!
