Angkor Wat (3 of 3) - Angkor City, Cambodia

Climb me!  (74k)

This is irresistable, it just begs to be climbed by all who can.

It's a long way up  (90k)

I didn't count the stairs, but there was enough to make me sweat.

Don't look down  (82k)

This perspective gives you some idea how steep the climb is. The steep stairs are worn and smooth-edged after centuries of wear.

Beautiful apsara carving  (96k)

There are supposed to be 2000 sculptures of Apsaras throughout Angkor Wat.

Poom peeking from pillar  (85k)

Even the intense afternoon heat doesn't stop us from having a little fun in the sun.

Apsara carvings (63k)

The churning of the milk, a hindu creation myth, is supposedly the event where Apsaras were born.
