The Bayon at sunset
The ruins are a sacred site, the 'eighth wonder of the world' and has lots of sign prohibiting flower picking, yelling and wearing sleeveless tops but they also have people wandering around letting their cattle graze, burning rubbish on the side of the road and playing R'nB pop songs at full volume.
Personally I(Tim) found the some trees growing amongst the temples even more fascinating than the ruins. This tree looked so eerily like a Zdzislaw Beksinski painting. I'm pretty sure it was a strangler fig that had been chopped down, had fallen on a pile of stone blocks and then had re-established itself.
We didn't ride any of the elephant/cow/naga statues or take photos of the beheaded budhas with our heads in place, so I think we can get away with this one.
