Taken June 2 2017 at Ta Prohm – the Tomb Raider temple, Siem
Reap
It was getting very hot at this point and this was our last
temple of the day. I was in awe of the
entire place. Nature had reclaimed so
much but the structure still dominates.
The mushrooms were growing along a crumbling wall. Ruins are scattered around but you can still
walk in and around much of it.
Construction on Ta Prohm began in 1186 AD, and I was walking
in, around and on it 831 years later!
Humbling and truly awe inspiring.
Originally known as
Rajavihara (Monastery of the King), Ta Prohm was a Buddhist temple dedicated to
the mother of King Jayavarman VII.
