Up at 5:00 AM and depart for sunrise at Angkor Wat...there are about 2,000 cameras at the event along with their human interfaces...ready to see nature at its best combined with one of the wonders of the world. The pictures say it all...what you see in the foreground is the darkened silhouette of Angkor Wat...other pictures show AW's reflection in a lily pond that sits in front of complex.
After the sunrise, we spend the next hour touring the complex before breakfast. Pictures show various portions of AW including wall stone carvings. You see a picture of Buddha and another of the Hindu God Vishnu....other pictures show Hindu worshippers beginning a yoga session while Buddhist monks are on their daily alms solicitation. The picture of me was taken at what is considered the center of the universe at the time AW was built under direction of the King's astrologers.
Visiting this complex has been a dream of mine since I saw a model of Angkor Wat in Thailand's Wat Poh back in 1996....one should always have dreams of things they want to do...Right now I'm hungry and it's time for breakfast.. only one temple left to see..
