Hidden City in the Jungle Photo

Photographer’s Note

Hey Everybody!

This is another shot at the temple of Ta Prohm, in the region of Angkor, Cambodia.

Imagine this:

6:45 A.M.

You are walking a path in the woods that is about 200 meters long. The only noise you hear are your own footsteps, the wind caressing the leaves and the exotic birds making a sound from time to time.

You reach the temple. It is deserted. There is nobody crazy enough to wake up this early. You are walking through ruins overtaken by the jungle. The trees are growing on the ruins of the temple, making their way slowly through the small cracks between two bricks, slowly pushing them apart and reconquering a land that was once theirs.

I could only witness and be amazed...

MeAT :)

Toujours impressionnant cette architecture et la végétation qui prends le dessus...belle réalisation..et le point rouge dans l'ouverture de la porte est un plus.

To reach perfectness in this shot you would need to have Lara Croft (Angelina Jolie) showing up through that portal. Just kidding! It is alreday perfect and I envy you for this unique experience in walking through this magical place so early in the morning.
