Travel Photo: Giant Roots and the Temple

This is possibly the most photographed place in the whole of Cambodia. And the credit goes to Angelina Jolie, who made this site immortal through her movie ‘Lara Croft: Tomb Raider’. It is insanely popular with South Koreans and Chinese especially and also the rest of the world. I visited this place, the Ta Prohm temple for a second time this year and was happy to get lesser crowd here, which helped me click many frames and shots.

While I took photographs without any one in the frame, I like this one better where my travel blogger friends Mridula Dwivedi and Lakshmi Sharath photographed these giant roots and in turn got photographed by me. Thank you for being my models!! And thank you to Tourism Authority of Thailand and Ministry of Tourism of Cambodia for inviting us on this trip.

    There are other applications similar to Skype which are cheaper and work equally well on low speed connectivity. I have been using Nymgo and Nimbuzz. Advantage is both can be installed on an andriod phone and work reasonably well even on airport wifi.
