The Album : Angkor Wat Temples
The Angkor Wat temple complex in Cambodia, one of the few things visible from space and equally impressive from the ground.
3 full days in the main complex was as amazing as it was tiring, each temple has its own unique style and its own stories.
Some of the lesser traveled ones have more atmosphere, probably because you get to avoid the crowds that flock around the Bayon and Ta-Phrom temples. these popular temples are best left until the later times as the tour guides have a set order that they do the shorter tours in
The Banyon Trees grow from tiny shoots that bed into the cracks in the stone and grow to these amazing trees that wrap around the temples, in some cases breaking the stone structure and in others causing a dependence where the temples are supported by the trees as much as the actual temple.
