Holiday in Cambodia

Found up in the top of the enigmatic Bayon temple mountain, with bats swirling around in the darkness.

"It seems that in this place silence is imposed upon everything. We hear only the furtive sound of water as it drips from foliage and stones after the shower.

My Cambodian guide insists that we should leave. We have no lanterns, he tells me, on our carts, and we must return before the hour of the tiger."
– Pierre Loti, 1901
