Beschreibung
Angkor Wat is a historic site located in the north-central part of Cambodia. Angkor Wat itself refers to a temple, with numerous small temples scattered around it, such as Ta Prohm and Preah Khan, centered on the large ancient city of Angkor Thom and the central Bayon.
This civilizations built in 12C are abandoned for the unusual climate change and completely forgotten for several hundreds until French naturalist Henri Mouhot visited this ruins in 1860 and published a travel note in 1863. It was recognized for the discovery of "The Lost City of Angkor".
The Angkor civilizations attract travellers and especially photographers with their mysterious and unique scenes of old temple ruins and giant trees covering them. It is nominated as UNESCO World Heritage in 1992.
Although the Angkor temple is huge and the center of the Angkor civilization, Ta Prohm and Preah Khan, where temples and trees are entangled, are much more attractive to photographers. Especially, these sites are mysterious and even scary early in the morning and late in thee afternoon with any travellers.
It is also worthwhile to look for sculptures hidden in every corner of the temple. Some of them are buried in the ground in half, and some are broken into pieces, to see the passage of time vividly, revealing the passage of time vividly.
Angkor Wat Temple is famous for its sunrise photo points. If you could find an appropriate shooting location, you can compose the sun hanging the main spire of the temple.
To the contrary, Phnom Bakheng is famous for its sunset point. It is also fun to sit on the tower and watch the sunset.
There is a place called Phnom Kuen, quite far from the main Angkor ruins, and after you get there you have to walk up to the valley on the mountainside. There are various sculptures submerged in the water. You don't have to go to this site on purpose, but if you can afford it, it is a good idea to visit there, because there is a beautiful site called Benteay Srey.
I visited Angkor 3 times in 2007, 2009, and 2011 and took about 8,000 photos during 3 visits. In this photobook, about 500 photos are selected and categorized by major places.
Finally I have to mention that I mainly relied on Wikipedia for the descriptions concerning Angkor archaeological sites in composing this photograph book, and I owe all contributors for this detailed descriptions on Angkor Wat. I thankfully quoted and rephrased their precious explanations on each of archaeological sites of Angkor civilizations.
