Temples - Anchor Thom, Bayon and Preah Khan - Cambodia

As much as we pride ourselves on our ability to capture a degree of the esthetic in our photographs, none of the following are able to provide a true reflection (other than the second photograph below).


The entrance to Angkor Thom

Beyond the entrance is a long road leading to the central square of Angkor Thom. This photo unfortunately does not capture the intricacy but Kathryn provides a sense of the magnitude.

Leaving Angkor Thom, and on toward Bayon. Beautiful, the leaves remind us of fall.

Bayon, capturing a portion of the long granite walkway, unbelievable.

A complex root structure. For those frizbee golfers out there, on natural holes, contiguous root counts.

From Bayon, onto Preah Khan - courtyard

There are likely more photographs from the day to be added, as Kathryn's are not included.

We are off to see a few other temples tomorrow, further afield - to Banteay Srei, Preah Neak Pean, and Kbal Spean. We are saving a sunrise at Angkor Wat for another day.
