Happy New Year

Last January I woke up to a sight like this. A sunrise in Angkorwat in Cambodia. I wonder where 2013 will take me …

Skywatch Friday - A sunset in Siem Reap

Sometimes the skies make you pause in your journey. You may be on the road or in a village somewhere and then you suddenly stop and look at the drama in the skies. I was travelling through Siem Reap and was returning towards Angkor Wat from Bantay Srei when I saw this beautiful lake on the way drenched in the evening light..And I couldnt resist , but to stop and watch the spectacle

If you like my photographs and would like to see more of them or join me on my journeys, follow me on My Travel Page. For lovely skies around the world, visit Skywatch

Colours of sunrise - Angkor Wat

I am not the sunrise variety and neither is the husband..but we were told that the sunrises at Angkor Wat should not be missed. So we woke up at 4 am and drove through the forests in the dark on our tuk tuk ..The winds were nippy and the setting surreal. But then, came the mosquitoes followed by hordes and hordes of people ..I didnt know which was annoying ; but then the sun kept its date with us and we forgot the rest. We were there twice - the first time around, it was so difficult to get close to the moat and hence we could just take only the towers against the dawn.

The second one was a spectacular sunrise, but I wasnt able to handle the crowds. The husband however, took the camera and took this picture just for me..He hates crowds and is barely interested in photography, but then the pictures were rather good, I think..what do you guys say ?

Photo of the day - Bayon, Angkor Thom, Cambodia

Of all the many temples I visited in Angkor Wat and Angkor Thom and around in Siem Reap, Bayon took my breath away.
