Honestly I have tried to have the opportunity to take this photo from a couple of days. I was looking for an example of how a motorbike can be loaded with people. The best time turned out to be at 1pm when some scooters become the school buses to take home students,

- The Bowels of Bayon -
The air inside the tunnels of the temple is cool compared to outside. Exploring the inner sections of the temple of Bayon is like being transported back in time, the old stones, become dark by the centuries seem to be hovering over one another. Strong daylight filters in the gaps between the stones above, creating game of light.

- Ta Prohm -
Ta Prohm is the modern name of the temple, built in the Bayon style largely in the late 12th and early 13th centuries and originally called Rajavihara. Unlike most Angkorian temples, Ta Prohm has been left in much the same condition in which it was found. Trees growing out of the ruins and the jungle surroundings have made it one of Angkor's most popular temples with visitors. UNESCO inscribed Ta Prohm on the World Heritage List in 1992

Arriving on a motorbike, the shape of the temple appear through trees and vegetation, the sun has just risen and the light is still golden. It is still early, the temple is almost deserted, the towers with smiling faces invested by the rays of the sun, set against a blue sky. The temple sits at the exact center of Angkor Thom.

Bayon is known for its huge stone faces of the Bodhisattva Avalokiteshvara, with one facing outward and keeping watch at each compass point.

- Cambodian Children -
During many of my travels around the world, I unfortunately saw how the lifestyle changes according to the site. I realized that being children and the definition of childhood changes. Traveling in countries still underdeveloped, I saw with my own eyes the dark side of childhood, children forced to work since very small, begging, stealing, and the list goes on and on.

In one of the bridges of the immense complex of Angkor Wat, a line of soldiers stone keeps an eye on the great mass of tourists that invade the area every day. The faces of stone have a hard and proud look..... but not all, at least one of them smiles to passersby.

- History vs Nature -
One of the icons of the magnificent temples of Angkor Wat, Ta Prohm, one of the most beautiful temples throughout Cambodia, on the one hand for its extraordinary architecture and in the other to the fact that for decades the surrounding jungle is reclaiming its space . This place is almost magical, huge trees that over time have unhinged walls and moved enormous stones, some sections of the temple are now reduced to a pile of rubble by the extraordinary clinging roots. Many restoration and recovery have been made and many still in progress.
A constant struggle between the man who tries to preserve their history and nature that tries to wants his space.
