Ta Prohm is one of the most impressive temples in Angkor.
Huge trees growing on top of the temple show the power of nature over mankind.

I found this old bike in the middle of rice and lotus flower fields near Siem Reap in Cambodia.
Many bicycles in the area lacks proper pedals.
You can also see how the front tyre has been repaired with string.
It is always fascinating to see how people manage to repair with simple means old / damaged equipment.

The Bayon temple in Angkor is famous for its 54 towers decorated with 216 faces.
This is a different perspective, showing the piles of rubble that are still left on the ground, and that have not been used during the restoration work.

The blue floating house against the brown water of Tonle Sap Lake created an interesting contrast.

Whole villages float around on this lake near Siem Reap in Cambodia. They migrate with the movement of the water between the wet and dry seasons.

You can find floating shops, bars, schools, fishing houses with nets below the house, and even alligator farms.
