The 10 best photos from the temples at Angkor, Cambodia

During our three-day bicycle exploration of the temples of Angkor, Cambodia, I took too many photos. The temples were a photogenic place to play around with my Canon G9 camera's panorama and macro settings, though I admit I went a little overboard.

Are these really our best photos from Angkor? Well, they're my favorites today. Tomorrow I may be more in the mood for the tranquil faces of Bayon.

If you've got a little extra time and would rather see all the Angkor photos, click here for the slideshow. And, of course, if you haven't yet read our art postcard from Angkor, what are you waiting for?

Thailand Traveler Aug 8, 2009 |   Some nice photos, My favorite is the funnel spider. too bad, you couldn't get a real close up of the critter. I didn't see the costumed touts when I was there 3 years ago, oh well! Reply | Quote
