Photographer’s Note

The next 3 posts will be from 3 different historical parks in Thailand.
This one is from a visa run to Cambodia in the middle of January, after the border crossing (figuring we were in the neighborhood anyway), we drove to the Buriram province to visit this extraordinary place.

It is in fact one of many Khmer ruins in that part of Thailand, dating back to the same time as Angkor Wat in Cambodia, and the similarities to the other Khmer temples are also striking.

If in the neighborhood, and you like old temples, I can warmly recommend this place, situated on top of an old volcano, it has beautiful views over the surrounding areas.

Harry,

We will be in Eastern Thailand in July and this picture shows exactly the kind of sights we will be looking for. It's world of difference from your great welding pictures, except that I like them both. Looking forward to the other shots.

Hello Harry,
the beauty of this place looks even more enhanced by the great light nd the warm tones you managed to catch. I like the feeling of peace and tranquillity you brought in, a very enjoyable site. Quality is excellent throughout with well visible details.
Thanks for sharing it.

Igor

Hi Harry,
A very nice capture of those ruins. Especially the light, creating such soft colours is very pleasant. The mood is very peaceful. Good composition too.
Regards,
Lars

Hi Harry,

That temple looks amazing in the evening. I can’t even imagine how many things like that we can find in a deep Thailand (Cambodian, Malaysian and so on) forest. Thank you for let us see this beauty. The photo is perfect in technical respect as well. Great composition, perfect light, wonderful colours. Well done.

Regards,
Dmitri
