Major ceremonial chamber in Angkor Wat, the largest religious structure in the world and considered the eighth wonder of the world. This was shot with a wide-angle lens because it was so massive (and I still couldn't capture the entire thing.)
A shot of the mirroring chamber. If I recall correctly these chambers were used in the filming of Tomb Raider (one of the bars in nearby Siem Reap is notorious for having been the after-hours hangout spot of Angelina Jolie and the crew.)
Part of a massive relief carved into a wall in Angkor's outer wall. This particular scene was one of tens of thousands around the complex, and depicts a Khmer war horse.
Intricate stone inscriptions like this one were commonplace (but no less astounding for it.) These designs have lasted eight hundred years, a testament both to the quality of the original work and the skill of modern archeologists working to restore the temple to its original glory.
The front of Angkor Wat as viewed through central columns on the upper prangs of the temple.
Unrestricted view of Angkor from the same spot as before. The massive outer wall is visible in the distance; a tremendous moat wraps the temple just beyond it.
The classical view of Angkor: three distinct prangs justting skyward, tribute to premodern Khmer glory.
Smaller temple sits just behind Angkor wat. This particular one was filled with probiscus monkeys.
