Photographer’s Note

This is an image looking at one of the entrances to Angkor Wat and along the inside wall. The outer limits of the Wat are set by a broad moat, a rectangle of 1.5km E-W and 1.3km N-S. Angkor's walls line up along the moat. The temple itself stands in the middle. The wall is made of Laterite and is 1025m by 802m. Angkor was built in the first half of the 12th century. This was both the capital and the location for the State Declared Temple - dedicated primarily to Vishnu and Hindu god.
