This Angkor warrior was shot at Angkor Wat, the world's largest single religious monument, built for the king Suryavarman II in the early 12th century as his state temple and capital city. The ruins of Angkor, a UNESCO World Heritage Site with temples numbering over 1000, are hidden amongst forests and farmland to the north of the Tonle Sap Lake outside the modern city of Siem Reap, Cambodia.

Angkor Wat has remained a significant religious centre since its foundation--first Hindu, dedicated to Vishnu, then Buddhist. Quite a few of the temples at Angkor have been restored and represent a significant site of Khmer architecture. Angkor Wat has become a symbol of Cambodia, appearing on its national flag and is worthy of all it's attention.

It is one of the most awe-inspiring locations I have ever been. From the sunrise to the sunset, there isn't a time of day that is not simply a spectacular time to explore this breathtaking location.
