Bayon - after close to a
thousand years in the same place, he is still smiling.
|
|
|
|
Bayon - it is amazing that something
so delicate has survived this long.

|
|
Bayon - lts of tourists and they
never stop posing in front of the big faces. The guy taking a picture
in this image is a government authorized tour guide, so is the other
guy in the same shirt.

Bayon four faces - unfortunately
my light was very flat this day and the sky kind of white, but I think
you can still imagine what it is like to have these faces all around
you.

|
Bayon - unfortunately many of
the original stone carvings are missing and many that remain are
damaged, but they are still wonderful to behold.
You can truly reach out and touch ancient history in these temples.

|
Bayon - another incredible face that
seems almost alive and ready to step out of the stone to speak to us.
The white and green spots on the face are lichen.

Bayon
- it can get pretty crowded in the temples and this is the low tourist
season.
