The largest religious structure in the world by area at 120 square miles, Angkor Wat comprises roughly 1,000 ancient temples conceived and constructed from the 10th to 13th centuries. The majesty of the temples reins despite competing religious tides from Buddhism to Hinduism, during which religious symbols, statutes and carvings were erased for all time, despite robber barons, including imperialists and corrupt governments, and brutal wars. It is one of the most photographed places in the world and so, when I return, I will post only a few that are uniquely my own perspective. Merry Xmas from Angkor Wat.
