The Lone Photographer @ Ta Prohm, Angkor

What photo isn’t made better by putting a beautiful woman in it?

In this case, the beautiful lone photographer in Angkor is my dear wife, Carrie. You can see the incredible photograph she took below.

Did you know:
Ta Phrom was a backdrop in the 2001 movie Tomb Raider

. . .

In person, Ta Phrom’s ancient ruins are a maze of doors, hallways, moss, stone, rubble, and tree roots snaking their way through every open space.

This gorgeous image is what came out of Carrie's camera at Ta Prohm - Angkor, Siem Reap, Cambodia

    Love both photos but I particularly like the one of Carrie. It has a lovely mystical quality and she looks quite out of place but that is what makes it so interesting.

      Thanks, Ally. Angkor really is a magical place as a whole, but there’s just something extra special about Ta Phrom.
