To say that Ta Prohm is impressive is quite the understatement. The photographic opportunities here are numerous, and the site is not too difficult to navigate. Ursula and I are in our 70s and we had no difficulty. Indeed, it was much easier to walk than Angkor Wat (part one of my three-part Angkor Wat series starts here: Cambodia — Predawn Arrival to Angkor Wat). By the way, the following picture depicts a real anachronistic conundrum. I’ll give you a closeup of what I mean on this week’s Fun Photo Friday, but take a look at this and see if you can spot it:
As I mentioned in Monday’s article, portions of Ta Prohm are encased in spung trees:
Where spung trees are not, moss and lichen frequently are. And that vivid green makes for some fun contrast with the gray stones:
And while gray sandstone is used throughout Ta Prohm, you’ll occasionally run across some red sandstone as well:
As stunning as some of today’s images are, they aren’t even among my favorites. You’ll see those on this week’s Fun Photo Friday, as well as a closeup image that may astound you. Until then, here’s a photo gallery/slide show to hold you over:
