Cambodian buddhist temple

Last November, my husband and I honeymooned in Southeast Asia. We visited both Cambodia and Thailand, and though Thailand was the main part of our trip, I actually ended up loving Cambodia so much more. One of the first temples we visited was Bayon Temple inside the Angkor Thom complex. Whereas Angkor Wat, the largest and possibly most famous Hindu temple in the world, is one huge temple; Angkor Thom is one huge complex with multiple temples inside, including this one. The bridge to the…

Wat Nokor - Kompong Cham - Cambodia. Wat Nokor also called Nokor Bachey Pagoda (Kampongcham) is an 11th century Mahayana Buddhist shrine made of sandstone and laterite with a large reclining Buddha and numerous alcoves containing Buddha images. An interesting feature of Wat Nokor is that the Angkorean structures have been incorporated amongst modern temple buildings, which have colourful paintings lining the walls and ceiling.

It was originally constructed as a Hindu temple of god Vishnu for the Khmer Empire, gradually transforming into a Buddhist temple towards the end of the 12th century. It was built by the Khmer King Suryavarman II in the early 12th century in Yaśodharapura (យសោធរបុរៈ Angkor), the capital of the…

The Byodo-In Temple is a grand replica of an ancient Japanese Buddhist temple and is located in nearby Kaneohe, within easy reach of central Honolulu. A huge wooden statue of the Buddha is the main sight in this temple, a replica of the original 11th-century structure in Japan. The temple itself is located within the Valley of the Temples cemetery, which also houses a meditation house and beautiful gardens, complete with a large carp-filled pond. Honolulu, HAWAII

I opened this Flickr account in order to share some pictures I took during a trip around the world. It's precisely during this journey that I (re)discovered photography. And because storing thousands of images takes so much time, I kept on shooting in the meanwhile. That's why my gallery is now quite hybrid and is not really related with travel anymore. However, I want now to go back in time and post a little serie of pictures taken in Cambodia ...
