Behind Angkor Wat there is a huge canal that surround the temple.You can see it here .

Angkor Wat today

Since the 1990s, Angkor Wat has seen a resumption of conservation efforts and a massive increase in tourism. The temple is part of the Angkor World Heritage Site, established in 1992, which has provided some funding and has encouraged the Cambodian government to protect the site.The German Apsara Conservation Project (GACP) is working to protect the devatas and other bas-reliefs which decorate the temple from damage. The organisation's survey found that around 20% of the devatas were in very poor condition, mainly because of natural erosion and deterioration of the stone but in part also due to earlier restoration efforts.Other work involves the repair of collapsed sections of the structure, and prevention of further collapse: the west facade of the upper level, for example, has been buttressed by scaffolding since 2002,while a Japanese team completed restoration of the north library of the outer enclosure in 2005. World Monuments Fund began work on the Churning of the Sea of Milk Gallery in 2008.

Angkor Wat has become a major tourist destination: attendance figures for the temple are not published, but in 2004 the country received just over a million international arrivals of whom according to the Ministry of Tourism 57% planned to visit the temple.The influx of tourists has so far caused relatively little damage, other than some graffiti; ropes and wooden steps have been introduced to protect the bas-reliefs and floors, respectively. Tourism has also provided some additional funds for maintenance—as of 2000 approximately 28% of ticket revenues across the whole Angkor site was spent on the temples—although most work is carried out by foreign government-sponsored teams rather than by the Cambodian authorities.

Το Angkor Wat το περιβάλει ένα κανάλι,μέρος του οποίου είναι αυτό το μικρό κομμάτι.Για μια γενική ιδέα μπορείτε να δείτε εδώ .

Το Angkor Wat σήμερα

Από τη δεκαετία του '90, στο Angkor Wat έγιναν προσπάθειες για επανάληψη των συντηρήσεων και συγχρόνως μια μαζική αύξηση του τουρισμού. Ο ναός του Angkor είναι μέρος της παγκόσμιας κληρονομιάς, που παγιωθηκε το 1992,υπό τον όρο η Καμποτιανή κυβέρνηση να παράσχει κάποια κεφάλαια και με την ενθάρυνση της ,να προστατευθεί η περιοχή. Το γερμανικό πρόγραμμα συντήρησης Apsara (GACP) λειτουργεί για να προστατεύσει τα devatas και τα ανάγλυφα που διακοσμούν το ναό από καταστροφές.Η έρευνα της οργάνωσης διαπίστωσε ότι περίπου το 20% των devatas ήταν σε πολύ κακή κατάσταση, κυρίως λόγω της φυσικής διάβρωσης και της φθοράς της πέτρας αλλά εν μέρει και σε προηγούμενες προσπάθειες αποκατάστασης. Αλλη εργασία περιλαμβάνει την επισκευή τμημάτων της δομής που έχουν καταρρεύσει, και την πρόληψη περαιτέρω καταρρεύσεων: η δυτική πρόσοψη του ανώτερου επιπέδου, παραδείγματος χάριν, έχει στηριχτεί σε σκαλωσιές από το 2002, ενώ μια ιαπωνική ομάδα ολοκλήρωσε την αποκατάσταση της βόρειας βιβλιοθήκης της εξωτερικής περίφραξης το 2005.Το ταμείο παγκόσμιων μνημείων άρχισε την εργασία για την ανακατασκευή της πινακοθήκης the Sea of Milk το 2008.

Το Angkor Wat έχει γίνει ένας σημαντικός τόπος προορισμού τουριστών: Οι αριθμοί επισκέψεων για το ναό δεν δημοσιεύονται, αλλά το 2004 η χώρα υποδέχθηκε πάνω από ένα εκατομμύριο διεθνείς αφίξεις και σύμφωνα με το Υπουργείο τουρισμού το 57% προγραμμάτισε να επισκεφτεί το ναό. Οι επισκέψεις των τουριστών έχει προκαλέσει μέχρι τώρα σχετικά λίγη ζημιά, εκτός από μερικά γκράφιτι. Σχοινιά και ξύλινα σκαλιά χρησιμοποιούνται για να προστατεύσουν τα ανάγλυφα και τα πατώματα, αντίστοιχα.Ο τουρισμός έχει παρέξει επίσης μερικά πρόσθετα κονδύλια για συντήρηση-όπως το 2000, περίπου το 28% των εισπράξεων από τα εισιτήρια χρησιμοποιήθηκαν σε ολόκληρη την περιοχή Angkor-αν και οι περισσότερες εργασίες εκτελούνται από τις ξένες κυβερνήσεις-σπόνσορες με την επίβλεψη των Καμποτζιανών αρχών.

Kalimera Danos,
very high differences of light, very complex light management, but a surrounding just asking for a capture. Well done, the sky is a bit bright but acceptable in any way. And the human element adds the right mood. Be quiet, be calm, sit and think and feel.
Lieben Gruss, Ulf

Hi Danos,
You've composed this scene superbly ... I like the way you positioned the island in the foreground pointing towards the lake ... nice lead up element. Reflections also added dimension to the scene while the branches created some framing. I like the serenity of the scene ... well composed and excellent work! tfs
Cheers,
Renier

HI Danos,
Beautiful landscape with excellent composition and the lights are very fine. Colours and details are picturesque, Well done!
Have a nice day

Yasu Danos,
Wonderful scenery and superb dark colors. The sky with the hint of clouds and their reflections on the water, the details look superb.
Se xereto. Salvator.

Peaceful view across the lake with some cloud reflections and what appears to be someone meditating. Your composition works well with the little promontory pointing the way into the frame and the overhanging trees at the top. Well done

Hi Danos.

Excellent unusual view. Everybody usually takes your previous picture (or close to it) but you posted here another POV really different...excellent!

Very light, colors and beautiful reflections on the water. Well done.
Have a good day.

Hello Danos,
It is indeed a lovely landscape!
The point of view gives an impression of being untouched by humans, with this calm lake surrounded by tropical rain forest...
Then I discover the person in the image, in a thoughtful pose by the waterfront, nice..!

Hola Danos,
El paisaje es precioso y la presencia de la mujer le añade dinamismo, pero quizás está algo oscura, sobre todo el primer plano, no obstante, buena toma.

Hey Danos,

Great landscape, I agree. Not your usual shot of Angkor Wat, but all the more interesting. - Behind the scenes you could say. :)
A fine composition and colors.

See you around.

The part of Angkor Wat that we don't get to see, I guess. The surrounding fauna is well presented here. Maybe the foreground is a bit dark, but a nice one nevertheless. Regards,

Bonjour Danos,
j'aime bien la manière dont tu as un peu sous-exposé la photo de manière à augmenter les couleurs et les contrastes. La vue d'un paysage très calme sous une météo clémente est toujours très reposante.

hello Danos

While most photographers shoot the temple from the front, you showed this scene behind it all. Quite a change of scenery. I wonder the canel is used for what purpose?

Hi Danos,
You know, that's the type of place you want to visit because nature is so different compared to what we know in Europe.
Have a nice WE

Hi Danos,
I like the framing with the branchs at the top, but the foreground is too dark for me, a peaceful landscape.

Hello Danos,

A superlative note, accompanying a very good image of the placid waters around Angkor Wat. The resolution in the branches and leaves overhanging the image is extraordinary.

Have a good weekend,

Hi Danos,
It's interesting to see an image of this famous place with no temples in sight. It's a wonderful photo, very well composed; along with many other things, I like the subtle reflections of clouds in the FG, they stand out more than the real ones above. Very interesting and informative note.
