Weekly Photo Challenge : Ornate Cambodia

In response to The Daily Post’s weekly photo challenge: “Ornate.”

Nowhere does ornate as well as the Far East. I was lucky enough to spend time in Cambodia back in the summer of 2013.  The images below come from Phnom Penh where I wandered one wet rainy afternoon.

Earlier in the same trip we went to the awesome Angkor Wat temples in Siem Reap. These ancient temples are intricately ornate – even the tree roots covering the jungle temples are ornate!
