This image of Ta Prohm, the breathtaking, sprawling temple built in the Bayon style is only partially cleared of jungle overgrowth and has been left in much the same condition in which it was found.
Massive fig and silk-cotton trees grow from the towers and corridors making Ta Prohm one of the favorite temples to see in the Angkor Wat temple complex. This temple was originally constructed as a Buddhist monastery as one of Jayavarman VII's first major temple projects.
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.
It has been featured in many book, films and video games of pop culture most notably in the Angelina Jolie film, Lara Croft: Tomb Raider.
