Cambodia


 I have so many photos from my trip to Siem Reap in Cambodia that it has been really difficult to select a few for the blog - I fear you may be in for temple overload so I'll divide them over a couple of posts!




These magnificent heads are at Bayon Temple.  You can see how large they are by comparing the size of the monk in his orange robes above.


Smiles all round!
 


This is Angkor Wat 




All around the temple are beautiful carvings.  These dancers (Apsaras) are so well preserved. 


The real thing!




More wonderful carvings that tell stories of ancient battles,



as well as depicting scenes from daily life ( one for the pot!),

animals and buddhas



and ferocious creatures!











So many variations in colour in the stone work.












Views of rural life.










Colour all around.




King Batman and his Tuk Tuk - a popular way to get around town.
















Some of the lovely artifacts at the hotel.


See you later!
