Angkor Wat

A row of dark stone towers rises behind palm trees and a pond dotted with pink flowers.

After the silhouette in the first photo, each shot moves closer: a wall carved with rows of figures holding long poles, a gallery of window openings running into the distance, weathered stone glowing in the sun as you look up, and a paved courtyard seen from above.

Angkor Wat stands in Siem Reap, Cambodia: a religious site and a ruin, with forest all around. In Locoku's catalog it ranks among the most famous places of all. Go in the local winter, and expect crowds and a busy day on your feet.
