The roots of a tree system that has merged with the stones of the Ta Phrom temple at Angkor Wat in Siem Reap, Cambodia.
This week has been spent exploring the many temples of Angkor Wat in Siem Reap, Cambodia. The image above was taken at the Ta Phrom temple, which is where they shot Tomb Raider. Portions of the temple are in ruins and other portions are merged with jungle trees. As part of the restoration, they’ve cleared enough jungle so you can access the temple but left many of the large tree and root systems in place so you can partially see how the jungle really did over take some of these temples.
I don't believe we are what we do to earn money. Instead, I consider myself to be all of these and more: photographer, traveler, foodie, teacher, student, blogger, explorer, poker player, music lover, son, film buff, computer geek, scuba diver, game player, friend, mountain climber, social drinker, and seeker of new experiences.
