From Bayon, one of the many Khmer temples at Cambodias Angkor, dating back to the 13th century. Theres some 200 or so of these faces at this temple. It’s believed the faces are of the king Jayavarman VII, incarnate as the bodhisattva Avalokitesvara. This is the second picture in this series. The serene, all knowing expression of the giant stone faces, looking out to the Cambodian country-side.

Mate of mine told me Cambodia was one of the coolest places he ever visited…looking at pics such as these, I must say that I’m becoming more and more convinced he was right.
