Ta Prohm Temple, a photo from Siem Reab, West

Photographer's Note

One of the main attractions at this temple just a few km from the larger and better known Angkor Wat. This tree has had hundreds of years to grow over the stone remains of this 1000 year old temple. All the wooden parts of buildings have rotted away and just the immaculate stonework remains. To think this was built without modern tools and cranes is an amazing thought.
The tree is likely a silk-cotton tree.

Hi Murray,

The point of view is showing the details and colors of the temple and of the tree growing over it. It is clear and precise. The luminosity is bringing out the colors. Have a nice day.

Hi Murray
I see that your recent trip to Cambodia wasn't all work! A good view of one of the classic sights of the Angkor Wat complex. Good colour and sharpness with the tree roots.
cheers
Ian
