Angkor Library Sunset

Here are your Your Favorite photos! And here is Page 2 Thanks again for all your nice comments (and the critical ones)!

The photo above looks best Large on Black!

I spent the entire day from with Sokhoun, a Theravada Buddhist monk and now a good friend (and email buddy!). It's a long story I will tell later.

But at the end of the day, we went into Angkor Wat for sunset. The guards made everyone else leave, but Sokhoun and I went around the backside of temple to watch the sunset by ourselves. The local security guards lets the monks do whatever they want, of course.

As we were walking around the temple grounds, we came across this old library just as the sun was dipping below the evening storm clouds.
