Temple Day two... Angkor Wat and Ta ProhmA

Temple Day two and I'm so excited! Today will be sunrise over Angkor Wat and Ta Prohm, which is the jungle temple! Looks like it will be gorgeous out too!

Still dark when we arrive,  but already, the view is stunning!

Sun not yet completely up, but you an already see Angkor Wat's reflection...

...and the crowds start to gather! YIKES!

But nothing like enjoying it with a good friend and a great cuppa coffee! Even though we both look like hell, it was so worth it!

Many many rules at temples...

...as the sun peaks through...

Toured around the grounds, there are so many carvings here, it's spectacular!



Apparently there are 36 different hair-do's! Who'd a thunk to count hairdo's!







On to Ta Prohm. Trees grow up through this temple which is currently undergoing some reconstruction, and has already gone through much reconstruction! There is great debate as to how much to reconstruct and/or how much to allow the tree's to be their beautiful self! You might recognize some of this temple from the movie Tomb Raider!






Lovin' the crazy trees!
