A beautiful shot of the temple, but how sad to see it overgrown and losing its former glory. It deserves better.

Thank you all for your comments
: Actually, this temple was left in this state on purpose to show to the public in which state they were discovered. All the other temples of Angkor have been "cleaned up".

Even though these trees take over the temples, they are amazing in and of themselves. It seems so primeval and natural......the question is, what came first, man's creation or the trees inclination to claim its natural environment?

must be amazing to see this overgrown temple in real life! the tree roots are unstoppable in their quest for food and water. Gives us a glimpse of how nature will reclaim the earth after we destroy ourselves...

good perspective here, looking on an angle along the wall and all the way up into the top of the tree..
