Old Bonsai-style tree at Angkor Wat

The Jungle-Enshrouded Temple

I thought this tree’s shape was very interesting, as I peered through it at Angkor Wat. I love old, spreading trees. I nearly had to fight off a couple dozen monkeys, but I guess the fact that I didn’t have food to offer them pushed them away into the trees.

Angel sculpture at Angkor Wat Cambodia

Sculpture

The carvings at Angkor Wat are incredibly intricate, especially considering they’re hundreds of years old. I’ve always been amazed at stone sculpture. How in the world does an artisan accomplish that with a chisels and hammer? It’s unbelievable. See some of my other photos from Angkor Wat.
