Temples of Angkor
This from the Lonely Planet. "Where to begin with Angkor? There is no greater concentration of architectural riches anywhere on earth. Angkor is one of the most impressive ancient sites on earth, with the epic proportions of the Great Wall of China, the detail and intricacy of the Taj Mahal and the symbolism and symmetry of the Egyptian pyramids all rolled into one."
Yeah, it was impressive. We spent most of two days touring the big three Angkor Wat (the world's largest religious building) - during much of the first day and at dawn the second day; AngorThom and Bayon the afternoon of the first day, and Ta Prohm (think Indiana Jones - also known as the Tomb Raider Temple) the morning of the second day. And it was hot and humid and we needed to cover our knees and shoulders for this visit, so our clothes were soaked by the end of the day. An amazing two days.

Amazing! Love the sunset picture with the temple reflection in the water.
