Pictures from Cambodia....finally...part one






hey there all from tunisia...i promise i will finish my write up on egypt, now that i am in a much better space...but first i thought you might want to see some pictures...finally...i will try and add some to the egypt section as well....these are the first five from cambodia....enjoy....

the first three are from phomn penh and the last two are from the angkor temples in siem reap....the first shot is from the outside of the silver pagoda....yes, the floor in this place is made of silver, but you are not allowed to take pictures....the second picture from cambodia's capital is of the stupha or national momument out at the killing fields site...inside of this are skulls, clothes and bones of those killed in the pol pot regime who were found in the killing fields...not all of them of course...but what a stunning momument to a horrible atrocity...the final picture is of the national museum...it was a beautiful place for all of the sculpture and for the beauty of the building itself....the buddha in the courtyard was soooo peaceful...i loved it :)

the first shot is of the second largest temple of the angkor complex in siem reap...and the one with much of the sculptured faces still in tact...this is the temple bayon...it was stunning....the second from siem reap is of the famed temple angkor wat...this temple was incredible...huge and beautiful...it took my breath away....i was there for both sunset and sunrise (on my birthday)...what a place....

hope you like the pictures...and the prior ones as well...it was an amazing place to be with incredible energy...if you can get there....by all means GO!!!!!
