Temple Chronicles: Angkor Thom

Considered one of the most famous Angkor temples, Bayon is renowned for its unique architectural display of giant stone carvings of faces.



The carvings of the faces in the walls are dramatic and mystical and the separate carvings within the temple are wonderfully detailed.





Armed with a sketch book and watercolor, this guy comfortably sits in one corner of the temple and draws Angkor Thom through his own perspective.


I wish I had that talent!
