I love Asia. A bold design with cutout letters next to a heart. Inescapable for those who love Asiatic culture. Ideal to give to that special friend.

This image is of the Banteay Kdei temple, or at least a part it, in the Angkor Archaeological Park near Siem Reap, Cambodia. The temple was built during the 12th century. While not the largest of the Angkorian temples, it has many of the features of Bayon and Ta Prohm. When capturing this image, I was particularly drawn to the wonderful architectural style and the robustness of the structure. This was a building that was built to last; look at the exposed structure of the roof in the portion that has collapsed.

Sunset at Angkor Wat

This is a gopura, or gopuram, located near the Phimeanakas Temple in Angkor Thom, which is very close to Siem Reap in Cambodia. Gopura, of this kind, were typically located at the edge of the grounds of medieval Hindu temples, where they acted as the entrance to the grounds. The Phimeanakas Temple dates from the 10th century, so this gopura may be of a similar age. We look at these incredibly old structures where just the stonework remains. They must surely have had many embellishments during their heydays. But even today, they stand as noble structures, which is what I wanted to capture.

The Angkor Archaeological Park,near Siem Reap, Cambodia, is home to many temples and other structures. This image is of the Banteay Kdei temple, a Buddhist temple that dates back to 12th century. When capturing this image, I was really drawn to the weathering on the sandstone and the resulting wonderful warm tones.

The Ta Prohm Temple within the Angkor Wat Archaeological Park is a marvel to behold because of the way the jungle has encroached in and over the temple structure. The temple was abandoned during the 15th century after the fall of the Khmer Empire and only "rediscovered" over the past century or so. During this lost time, the banyan trees have grown up and out of the stonework. The trees are gigantic, but it is the roots that are so fascinating in the way they have snaked their way down over the ruins. Over time these roots have forced their way into the temple stonework, forcing it apart, with the result that much of the temple is in collapse. Interestingly, the authorities have chosen to allow this continued encroachment because of the ...

This image was captured near the top of the Baphuon Temple. At 34 metres high, getting to the top of the temple is a bit of a challenge. It's not that the 34 metres are excessive, it's the incredibly steep, very wide, and very well worn stone staircases that causes the trepidation. You have nothing but your fingernails to hold you in place, Those stone steps had, no doubt, witnessed millions of feet and so were not as flat as they once had been. The descent was best navigated by going down backwards. Back to the image, which depicts the wonderful columns and arches that adorn the top of the 2nd tier of the temple. With the temple being roughly square, these columns went around each side, with the remains of an old tower in the middle...

The Baphuon Temple is part of the Bayon complex in Angkor Thom, itself within the overall Angkor Wat Archaeological Park. This image is taken in one of the passageways within the temple structure. The temple was built in the mid-11th century to honour the Hindu god Shiva, but later became a Buddhist temple.

This image is of the Baphuon Temple, which is in Angkor Thom, near Siem Reap, Cambodia. The temple was originally built in the mid-11th century to honour the Hindu god Shiva, but later was converted into a Buddhist temple. By the time of the 20th century, the temple had largely collapsed. What remained was dismantled, About 300,000 pieces were labelled and numbered. However, the records were lost during the time of the Khmer Rouge, so when the project restarted, it then took 16 years to unravel the 3D jigsaw puzzle and rebuild the temple. Today, it is a marvel to behold, being about 100 metres square and about 30 metres tall.

Bayon is one of the most visited temples in the vast Angkor Wat complex. The temple was part of Angkor Thom, itself the capital city of the Khmer kingdom, but was abandoned for centuries. Today only the most durable of the structures remain, but even they show the passage of time. That said, the ruins are remarkable and are a testament to the incredible architectural merit of the time. This image is of what appears to be a formerly covered passageway. A lintel remains over the portal, but otherwise, just the vertical stonework seems to have survived. But even in its ruin, it speaks to the power this place must have once held.

The remarkable banyan trees that grow in, around, and through the ruins in the medieval temples in Angkor are spectacular to behold. The structures, dating back over 800 years were abandoned at the time of the collapse of Khmer empire, and so, over the centuries, the jungle has retaken possession. These trees, enormous in size, have the most amazing roots, which snake over the old sandstone structures. The tree in the image sits right against the wall of the Banteay Kdei temple, with part of the roots passing through a window in wall.
