Upper Spire

Upper Spire
When I set off travelling last June, I knew that I wanted to stand at this very spot. During my 5 days in Cambodia last June, one of them was spent at the illustrious temple of Angkor Wat. A relic from the 12 century, it still stands tall to this day. I’ve featured images from [...]

Words simply cannot describe how awestruck I was at this place. It’s a part of the world that everyone should [...]

Miniatures
Banteay Srei and lies about 20 km from Away from Siem Reap. The best way to describe it is miniature version of Angkor Wat, and looks like it could of been used exclusively by children because of it’s diminutive size. The first thing I noticed was how small the doorways were which were only a [...]
