Kicked off my 2012 travels with a brief visit to the world renowned temples of Angkor, during the CNY holidays.
Angkor was never in my list of places to go, considering that it is extremely touristy and has also been photographed to death. But somehow, I booked my tickets to Siem Reap because the weather wasn't quite optimal in other parts of SEAsia at this time of the year and I only had 4 days to get away, so Angkor it was...
Didn't do many of the things that most people usually do - gave sunrise at Angkor a miss, gave sunset from Phnom Bakhaeng a miss, as I didn't want to fight with the hundreds (if not thousands) of camera and tripod wielding folks...
Here's a few of my takes that I have selected so far...
C&C most welcome.
Cheers.
1. Angkor at sunset
A clichéd shot of Angkor Wat at sunset. Couldn't stay more than 5 minutes, as the crowds were too much for me to tolerate and enjoy that moment...Can't imagine the circus it would be at sunrise...
2. Pre Rup at dawn
3. Ta Prohm
4. Apsara at Ta Prohm
5. Bayon
