Carvings (Cambodia)


In case you were thinking I was kidding about the intricacies of the carvings on these temples, I have included a few close ups on these designs for your viewing pleasure.


This is the elephant terrace. Different from the temples that are built high above the grounds, the terraces are low-lying a currently right off the road. Their architecture is just as unique though. The columns on this particular terrace are actually elephant trunks. It was incredibly cool to see!




And finally, the big daddy! Just look at these carvings.
