Angkor dawn, Ta Phrom, Bayon
5 a.m. - my moto driver Tana, picked me up and we rode in the dark to Angkor Wat. in pre-dawn light - trying to take it all in - i walked across the causeway, past the crowds waiting for sunrise and on - into the depths of Angkor. followed the song - to find one man chanting - crouched in prayer at the altar - incense burning, and stopped to listen as time stood still. walked on - the silence, magic.
angkor is so impressive, and huge. worth waiting for but don’t wait too long. so many temples - melting in the heat - dissolving in the rain - crumbling beauty . if there is one place i will always be glad i saw - this is it. but words cannot describe. and photos do not capture. just go.
and then - dream on.
