I Photographed The Temples Of Angkor Wat, The Largest Religious Monument In The World

Each country brings memories of adventure, love, discovery… In Cambodia is Angkor Wat – truly impressive, a masterpiece of the past. Angkor Wat is the largest religious structure in the world. It took me two full days to visit the nearby temples by bicycle, plus one day with tuk-tuk to the beautiful Banteai Srei.

The temples replicate the spatial universe in miniature. The one I like the most, the Bayon, has 54 Gothic towers decorated with 216 enormous faces. Immerse yourself in the beauty of the Angkor Wat temples through the power of images and inspirational travel quotes. All photos were taken with Sigma DP1 and Sigma DP2, and post-processed in Photoshop Lightroom.
