Ta Prohm

28th May 2004.

Ta Prohm was left until last on purpose and it was awesome. Intentionally left to the jungle it is a real sight to behold.

It gives the impression of exploration, like you are the first ones there and hence was used as the Tomb Raider set.

The west entrance gate.

North Western temple door, plus tree to hold it together.

The collapsed North wing. You really can see the power of nature over these buildings.

The tree infested North Gate.

An Apsara carving just lying in a pile of rubble.

This man is on the front of the Cambodian Lonely Planet. Recently, someone took him for an eye operation and he now wears sunglasses Despite his global fame he is still sweeping the courtyard in the temple.

Claire Tomb-Raider Hillier.

More trees and bricks

... and the window through which Lara Croft rolls in the film.

Ignore the film and this place is awesome.
