The Weekly Photo: Angkor Wat, Cambodia By Nomadic Matt | Published September 10th, 2008 Angkor Wat, Cambodia
I love the contrast the bright orange robe of the young monk brings to this photo.
The scale and dimensions along with the contrast is amazing ..
I heard that excess tourism has led to this place being very unpleasant to visit these days
I agree with Theresa. The contrast works great.
Striking photo that sets a kind of spiritual mood. It must be a special place to visit.
With bright contrasts, the picture is amazing. Does it always look so ?
I have heard so much about this place that I can not wait till next year. Next year planning to go there & your posts will come handy.
This is one of my favorite photos so far.
Great capture, NM. I could have some fun with this in Photoshop.
@cuckoo: yes it does!
@greenerman: yup! it’s always crowded!!
@theresa/lakshmi/erica: yes, the contrast is what I love about this photo too…it just came out so perfect.
@mark: it is! You should go…angkor wat is a must for every traveler!
@christy: thanks!
@stevo: ooo yeah, what kind of fun!?
Great photo! Did it take long to get a photo with no tourists in it?!
i so really wanna visit cambodia. I’m close to visiting it last year but… so near yet so far…
hopefully this year.
it’s not true that it’s over crowded. in fact recently it’s been thru a downturn. i was there with my wife 6 months ago, and found most of the time that we were alone in poignant places like the one in the photo above.
