Siem Reap from 29 Dec 2011 to 1 Jan 2012. These pictures show sunrise at the famous Angkor Wat |

Angkor
Thom, equally majestic. The Bayon Temple at Angkor Thom had deities lining the entrance (far left). Had my first elephant ride here! The smiling face of King Jayavarman VII has been dubbed as the "Mona Lisa" of South East Asia! |

|
Ta Prohm Temple, aka the "Lara Croft" Temple as the Tomb Raider film, starring Angeline Jolie, was shot there. The "tree-in-temple" site was built by Jayavarman VII in honour of his mother. |

Beng Mealea ("Lotus Pond") Temple is another picturesque temple about 40km from Siem Reap. Considered as one of Cambodia's "best kept secret" for temples as it was only discovered in 1990. The place is literally located in the middle of the jungle. Trees not only grow around the temple but also on the temple walls themselves. |

Tonle Sap Lake is the largest
freshwater lake in SE Asia and is noted for its floating village and
"floating forest".
Kampong Phluk (the floating village of the Tonle Sap) is every photographer's dream shooting location! |
