In January of 2010 Lori and flew to Saigon, Vietnam for a three week trip.
After a wonderful time in Vietnam, we flew to Siem Reap in northwest Cambodia.
Siem Reap is an interesting town, but the reason we were there was the magnificent ancient
Angkor Wat temple complex. The largest religious monument in the world.
This image was taken in the Ta Som temple.
Ta Som is a small temple at Angkor built at the end of the 12th century for King Jayavarman VII.
The king dedicated the temple to his father Dharanindravarman II who was king of the
Kmer Empire from 1150 to 1160.
This image shows a carving on the wall of an Apsara dancer.
These dancers were celestial nymphs from Hindu mythology, symbolizing creation and beauty.
At its heights hundreds of dancers were supported by the temple.
