    thanks Brae, its a bit like the tentacles on the giant squid in Pirates…maybe I should call it ‘the octopus’

    Nice shot John. I’m impressed you managed to find a clear shot – I have also been to this temple but it was swamped by post ‘Tomb Raider’ visitors everytime I went!!

    Thanks David, I was there in April, and it was 40 c plus in the shade, so we had a few times when there was nobody (except my wife and daughter- in the pic). Would love to go back around June- low tourist season, dark brooding skies, intense greens…

    Oh yeah! This is what I like to see. This is AWESOME. And it adds a few goosebumps to know that you’ve seen this with your own eyes. Great capture! Definite favorite!

    Definitely something ‘rich’ in the soil there. ;) Beautiful.

  • John Spies replied

    Thanks Kathy, most people find the untouched ruins more intriguing than the restored ones at Angkor
