The New York Times : a beautiful night-time photograph of Angkor Wat

during some fancy-pants fund-raiser. We spent three days in Siem Reap and saw only about half a dozen of the temples, waiting until the last day to visit Angok Wat. It's a terrible thing to say, but I've been fortunate enough to see a lot of temples in my life and as interested as a was to visit the Khmer temples I was a bit jaded in a "seem one temple, seem 'em all" sort of way. I'm not sure I could have been any more wrong than I was. If you ever get a chance to visit Angkor Wat, just go. No questions, go. Go, now. It's almost worth for all the dragon flies in the first inner courtyard, alone.
