Tomb Raid~

Ta Prohm
Nothing to do with any Mausoleum or tomb this time, simply famous because of this movie by Angelina Jolie~~~



Photobucket
Tada~also known as the Tree Temple.....simply because after its abandonment, nature had blend in very well with huge trees growing all over the place. Thus making the destruction more rampant~




Photobucket
Tree Temple~




Photobucket
Awesome right?~




Photobucket
Much of it was already in ruins




Photobucket
All these trees made restoration work very difficult~ 




Photobucket
In the end, choices has to be made between preserving nature's improvisation, or restoring a ruin which had been forgotten by history~



Phnom Bakheng
Bakheng Hill is the perfect spot for viewing sun set~ What a waste that we went all the way up, only to see the cloud turns black....and rain~


Photobucket
One of the earliest temple in Angkor history~




Photobucket
Again, it was abandoned slowly due to the massive amount of temples around the area~




Photobucket
Weathering and disrepair both cost a toll to this once a magnificent temple~




Photobucket
At least we took a picture...would be better to have seen the sun set though~
