Angkor, Cambodia
This temple is 25Km north-east from the rest of Angkor, luckily all on the flat as I cycled there and back. I started off at dawn to avoid the heat of the day and the bus loads of Korean tourists and I arrived here at about 8am and had a good hour to [...]

Apparently each of the 200 or so faces on this temple are different in some way. I like this one, the smile appears very calm.
