Woke up this morning ready for a full day of temple sightseeing. The faces of Bayon were incredible!! Ended the day with seeing Cambodian dancers at night.

Angkor Thom Entrance

I rode in an air conditioned car to Angkor Thom. When I got out the incredible heat immediately caused thick condensation on the lenses of my camera and camcorder. As time went on it cleared up a bit. While the day before I wore a thick denim shirt and carried a HUGE camera bag, from this point forward I wore only t-shirts. I WISHED I had brought a pair of shorts.

Angkor Thom/Bayon - Black and White

Used Kodak film. Nothing like Black and White. Look at how the reliefs and faces stand out!

Bayon - Color, Other Angkor Thom Color

And of course everything is amazing in color too! I constantly tried to take shots that got as many faces as possible.

Terrace of the Leper King / Terrace of the Elephants-

A neat little area. The elephants are almost life-sized.

Bantay Kdei-

Don't remember much about this one.

Prasat Kravan-

A Hindu temple. This was a simple but beautiful one.

Srah Srang - The Royal Bath

Beautiful lake.

Ta Prohm - The Kingdom of Trees

The pictures can't begin to capture it! It felt like something right out of the opening of Raiders of the lost Ark. I could have spent the whole day here walking among the trees. For the most part it was incredibly quiet, except when this huge flock of screeching birds flew overhead.

Miscellaneous Pics walking around Angkor Thom - Supas, millipedes, Srah Srei (sacred pool for men and one for women), Preah Palilay & other interesting shots

We walked and walked and walked. I just shot whatever seemed cool. Somewhere in all of this I lost track of a which temple was which. Anyone who knows please tell me.

Misc Black and Whites- Ta Prohm, Cambodian Dancers, Preah Rup, Bantay Srei

I had this roll in my backup camera. I started using it this day and carried it around the next day when we went to Bantay Srei. At Bantay Srei I ran into the Taney family. We were both stay at the Sofital Royal Angkor.
