Description

Capturing this Angkor Wat Sunrise panorama required rising early. Thankfully we had a guide who got our tickets ahead of time and we were able to bypass the crushing crowds waiting in line. It was worth the early hour to have a little time when this icon was quiet.
Angkor Wat is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It is the largest religious complex in the world, 3 times the size of Vatican City.
Constructed in the early 12th century, originally a Hindu center, it became Buddhist by the end of that same century.
Angkor Wat is the most well preserved structures today as most in the complex have been overtaken by the jungle of Cambodia.
