Angkor Wat

This scene of Preah Khan only exists in the minds of those who passed through it before 1998. Since then the blocks were picked up and put in some order from where they fell. It is another very dark area that took a long exposure with my 4x5 camera. Although they are not as impressive at first glance as some of the more magnificent angles of the temples, I took them to give a feel as to what visiting Angkor was really like for those of us who wandered the temples mazes; and sometimes just sat in solitude and wondered about the people who built them so long ago. There are many very interesting temples to see around Angkor Wat. Once you have seen Angkor Wat, though, the others seem to lose their impressiveness. I used to do Photo Tours and always took my clients to the smaller temples first, saving the Granddaddy until last.
