56) CAMBODIA: in pictures: Angkor Temples (Part II)

Here are ten more pictures of temples in the Angkor Wat area (and some of them at the actual Angkor Wat temple). Some of these pics may help to give you an idea of how beautifully intricate these temples are- even today. One of the most famous parts of these temples are the beautifully carved woman that seemed to appear on every wall in some temples. It is a wonder how some of these carvings could be in such great shape hundreds of years after they were created. I could not help thinking to myself what this area must have looked like when this was the capital city of Cambodia, when it was new, and functioning as it was meant to. It must have been truly wonderful.
