Angkor What????


Sorry about the delay, but here is the beginning of the Angkor Pictures. This is the main Angkor Wat temple. It is the largest in the complex. We got there late afternoon so we only had a little time in the temple itself before they kicked us out. It was okay though, they had blocked most of it off anyways....something about Japanese tourists hurting themselves (and there were Japanese tourists everywhere!) However, we did stay till dark outside the complex and it was an beautiful vista. We got to see the sunset and it was the most incredible sunset I have ever seen....nay the most incredible sunset MAN has ever seen. You had the glorious ethereal pink clouds backdropping the temple, you had a storm rolling in giving it a foreboding aura with lightning flashing occasionally. To top it off, there was a rainbow? (forgive my meager attempt to describe the indescribable) Really what more can you ask for?

  3. no, i dont think so. there was a really cool reflection pool. i am pretty sure the shot just caught most of the reflection.
