Sunrise inside Angkor Wat. Reflections on the pool are meant to be nice but I think the dry season had emptied the pool out a bit. Plus the green scaffolding was an eyesore.
Angkor Wat reflections by day.
Preah Khan ruins
A straight line of endless doorways at Preah Khan.

Pre Rup. The style reminded me of the Indonesian Prambanan temple complex.
The view from the top of Phnom Bakheng. You can just see Angkor Wat and the moat amongst the jungle from here (a little to the left).

Monks lounging around while the sunsets at Phnom Bakheng.
Statues at Banteay Srey, the temple that must have been built by women as the carvings are so delicate and detailed.
