Morning ride between Angkor Thom and Phnom Bakheng
Extensive bike tracks and easy rentals of sturdy, modern mountain bikes is a healthy option to explore Angkor and Siem Reap.
Early trips often gives the most exciting options regarding light and colours.
An added experience is to see and meet how locals live and make use of the cultural landscape bordering the archaeological marvels of the Angkor Park of Cambodia.

Getting b-roll from the locals
Having a talented, young photography assistant is always great!
Giving my backup mobile camera to the ever brilliantly and creative ms N* was a way of getting fresh looks at old sites.
The Preah Vihear complex is one of Cambodia’s most precious global cultural heritage sites, and getting around it takes time and visits.
Local knowledge and help is vital to get the most out of it.

The midway surprise Prasat Rorng Ramong
This small temple is by the main road between Angkor Wat and Angkor Thom.
A glimpse from the early, old capital,
Rorng Ramong was built during the reign of Yasovarman I, the great king that moved the Khmer imperial capital from Hariharalaya.This temple is significant because it gives a good idea of how these early temples was planned and build into the city structure.

Girl with the red ruby ring
The Lotus Pond Temple, Prasat Beng Mealea, was build about the same time as Angkor Wat, near the sacred Kulen Mountain.
We where a group of visitors seeking shelter for a sudden downpour. And this local girl was silently and curiously observing the various slightly soaked people.
With a portrait pose.
The Lotus Pond Temple was added to the list of tentative World Heritage Sites in 2020.

Smoking good Khmer BBQ street food
When you want to buy street food in Asia, you will not lack choices.
Like chicken, quail, sausage, pork, pineapple from this happy chef.
Trick is to follow a local chef and her fav street food joint. Or – the joint with the longest queue.
And your nose, of course.
You can get well fed with left overs for 5 USD.

The real heroes of Angkor Park
Early morning by the moat of Angkor Wat. This Apsara maintenance crew is doing vital and important cleaning duties.
This moat is a 1.5 km by 1.3 km rectangle, with a width between 190 to 200 meters. It encloses the whole Angkor Wat and symbolizes the cosmic oceans surrounding the Hindu god’s home. And provides a crucial foundational stability for the largest religious monuments in the world.

That morning I caught some really warm sun rays at Prasat Kravan.
This five tower temple was built at the same time as the pyramid at Koh Ker, and gives a glimpse into the earliest city and capital sites of the Khmer Empire.
