Vietnam & Cambodia Photo TourAngkor Wat Cambodia & Night at the Circus - April 28th, 2015
Another great day of photography and experiences here in Cambodia today. After breakfast we headed back into the National Park to visit a few more of the temple ruins including Angkor Thom and the location where Laura Croft Tomb Raider was filmed.
As the warmth of the afternoon approached we returned to the hotel for lunch and some free time before dinner and our visit to the Phare Circus. The circus was an amazing acrobatic performance depicting the plight of the Cambodia people. An amazing show performed by actors that came from poor village families and were professionally trained. Now the performance proceeds go to helping more children better their quality of life. It was a great show, with many talented performers.
Here is tonights images from our second day in Cambodia.
One of the thousands of statue heads that great you as you enter the temple area.
Tammy went to take her first shot today and found she had a visiter walking across her mirror.

Another temple with a sepia tone, just for something different.
The roots from the trees are the biggest part of the destruction of the temples.
