Ta Prohm

Whereas Angkor Wat has received a great deal of restoration, this temple has been left more or less as it was found. Here we get a real sense of how the centuries have treated these ruins. After the collapse of the Angkor Empire, most of these cities were deserted for many many years. Trees have worked long and hard to reclaim the jungle.

When I get home I will have to go back and review the Angelina Jolie movies. Parts of the Tomb Raider series were filmed here.








The ruin contains many beautiful features and carvings, but the trees dominate.
