As the sun was rising higher and higher, I noticed that more and more people were arriving at the temple looking incredibly more well rested than I, so I have made an attempt in these photos to spruce myself up a bit!
I am thinking about my hair, and of course Jason is thinking about the stunning temple and all that happened here for hundreds of years during Angkorian rule.
The carvings on the temple walls, halls, floors and ceilings are amazing. For the most part they are very well preserved. Most likely because Angkor Wat was overgrown with jungle for a couple of hundred years. The carvings are so unique -- representing Hindu and Buddhist religions.
This is a picture from behind the temple. The scaffolding is evidence of the preservation efforts by the governments of many nations.
