Glory of Angkor Wat


It was a spectacular sight, the magnificent ruins rising up to the heavens...rising at 70 degrees steep. The temple's grounds are vast...


...and it's sculptures were impressive...ancient and detailed.

Sunset at Phnom Bakheng Hill... with beautiful life budding within the old ruins.


There I was, standing in the present, looking through the doorway of yester-years.
A little girl with her Energizer bunny shies away from the scorching heat.
*I was sweating like a pig in the sauna*.



Stone hedge in Siam Reap?

Lovely sights, great photographic opportunity...but sadly, poverty plagues the local people. It'll take many years and much great effort before the people can be economically more developed. In the people's effort to achieve development, the authorities should preserve Cambodia's authenticity in every aspect.

thanks, am learning up photography these last few mths.

i took all of these (except the one with me climbing the steep steps) with my point & shoot cam.

Chris' SLR cam should produce much higher quality shots.
