Angkor Wat

Angkor Wat is a 'must see' monument of the Angkor Archeological Park.  We did visit it but not on our first or second day.  Rather, it's on the second last day.   It is enormous.  It has miles long relief describing the various wars.   Beautiful but after some time it's difficult to appreciate the art intensively.   There are many literature about the momument and its art.  Instead of extracting bits and pieces of information, I prefer to show it from far to close.

The first day of visit, we passed by the monument in the evening.  Families clustered at the lawn outside to enjoy the precious time together.


A view of Angkor Wat from a hill for sunset.   You have to start walking up before a certain time and queue up to enter into the premise of temples to wait for the sunset view.   There were crowds.  So, be early.  The weather on the day we visited was not ideal for sunset view.  We did not wait for it.  The beauty of the Angkor Wat view worth the sweat.


The very first shot of the morning of our visit - Cambodia children.
