A drop of colour and a drop of water

A good thing with an assistant is to have someone to show the scale of things.

Like my friend here, showing the size of one of the water basins before entering the first of the temple buildings of Preah Vihear.

This fantastic mountain top temple complex is just another important part of khmer heritage to the world, forever for Cambodia to care for and protect.

The sunset warm temple by the icy blue pond

This temple complex in the north of Cambodia, on the border mountain range to the large northeast Isaan-region of Thailand, lays the levelled temple complex of Preah Vihear.

The name "Preah Vihear" comes from the Khmer words "Preah" (sacred) and "Vihear" (abode or shrine). The temple is also sometimes referred to as "Phnom Preah Vihear" (mountain of Preah Vihear).

The large temple complex was built during a century one thousand years ago. It has been a Cambodian World Cultural Heritage site for nearly twenty years.

As a tourist attraction, the temple is a popular travelling target with all the usual and some unique reasons. The location and the view and outlook of the surrounding areas are special. The combination of several Angkor art and architectural styles into one complex is very interesting.

It is a mountain temple, but the access is easy going after you have paid someone with 4x4 to drive you up. Not wheel chair accessible, but seniors and other who are able to walk can visit easily.

Photo shows an old temple building build in red stone being warm and yellow-red in the afternoon setting sun. It contrasts nicely with the icy blue pond in the foreground, and the lightly clouded blue sky. The classic Khmer temple is set on a foundation of stone, surrounded by turf-covered ground.
