Sepia is a tone used in photography which makes the photos resembling the effect of aging in old photographs. Took quite a number of photos in sepia mode. Click to enlarge.

Cambodia and Vietnam trip ~the temples Day2~

This is the continued post from the previous one Cambodia and Vietnam trip ~the temples Day1~

Day2

~Angkor Wat~ (Angkor = cit, Wat = temple, thus Angkor Wat = Temple that is a city)


~Bayon~
This is one of the trademark in Siem Reap which can be found abundant in Bayon temple located at the center of the Angkor Thom. Angkor Thom is a fortified city with numerous structures within it, including Bayon.


~(to be verified)~ XD
This is another temple within the Angkor Thom area.


~Takeo~
Pronounced as Ta-Kay-Yo. Climbing up and down the steep temple was exciting. This photo was taken by Jimmy, and I guess I'm in the photo (the top one). Too small, till I can't even recognize myself XD


~Ta Prohm~
Another must go place in Siem Reap, which is famous with the giant tree around the temples with its root penetrating from the rooftop all the way to the ground. Always wonder how the tree actually start growing there in the first place. Tomb Raider movie has one scene shot here, where Lara Croft (Angelina Jolie) fought a live lion statue. (also appear in the movie are Angkor Wat and also Angkor Thom).
