    What's your colour?: by me, Views[553]
         		 What's your colour?: by me, Views[89]
         		 Joe with our awesome tuk tuk driver who took us around from temple to temple and waited patiently literally from sun up to sun down. And that's the end of our Angkor Adventure!: by sglass, Views[350]
         		 Every single temple we visited here was unique and amazing-- and judging from the piles of stones like this that still litter the ground everywhere there is a LOT more here that has yet to be found and rebuilt!: by sglass, Views[394]
         		 More amazing carvings in Elephant Terrace: by sglass, Views[399]
     
    Another shot of more elephants at Elephant Terrace as we exited: by sglass, Views[337]
         		 We were HOT and have been up since 4am so we climbed back down to get one last shot of Baphuon from the main gangway as we walked away: by sglass, Views[349]
         		 Starting to reconstruct the central topmost tower-- good luck to that!: by sglass, Views[166]
         		 by sglass, Views[160]
         		 View out to the entrance of Baphuon- another one of our favorite temples: by sglass, Views[164]
     
    Looking down at lower levels: by sglass, Views[161]
         		 This whole time we were wondering how on earth archaeologists were putting this thing back together-- and to be honest, I'm pretty sure there are a LOT of blocks in the wrong places: by sglass, Views[132]
         		 Walking around the 'almost top' of Baphuon.: by sglass, Views[155]
         		 View from our level to the actual top of the pyramid temple-- we weren't allowed to actually climb up to the top: by sglass, Views[130]
         		 by sglass, Views[112]
     
    The top most accessible (for now) level of Baphuon. Still needs a lot of reconstruction- but this is a start!: by sglass, Views[135]
         		 I am scared to climb up this thing: by sglass, Views[143]
         		 A 2nd, even steeper staircase (more like a ladder) to get to the top-most accessible level of Baphuon: by sglass, Views[158]
         		 View down to the main gateway of Baphuon: by sglass, Views[146]
         		 by sglass, Views[140]

         		 Beautiful arched passageway on an upper level: by sglass, Views[142]
         		 Baphuon was originally completed in the late 11th century: by sglass, Views[147]
         		 Climbed up to an upper level of Baphuon temple- all of this has been reconstructed in just the past few years/months. It's amazing that it's even here.: by sglass, Views[172]
         		 No words, or pictures, can describe how steep this staircase was :-/: by sglass, Views[154]
     
    View from a higher level out to the central gangway that leads to the main entrance of Baphuon temple: by sglass, Views[160]
         		 by sglass, Views[150]
         		 Hard to see- but this is the little history blurb with a picture from pre-Khmer Rouge and then the one from 2008: by sglass, Views[155]
         		 This is a picture of Baphuon in 2008! Go back 2 pictures in this album and you'll see what it looks like in 2012-- just 4 years and what a difference!: by sglass, Views[187]
         		 A wonderful little mini-exhibit on Baphuon's tragic recent history: by sglass, Views[171]
     
    Beautiful Baphuon (this temple is HUGE as well): by sglass, Views[176]
         		 Climbing up Baphuon, an archaeological
         		 by sglass, Views[143]
         		 Baphuon, like many temples, was taken apart when it was found by archaeologists, in order to be put back together in a fully restored manner. Except then the Khmer Rouge happened and they destroyed all the archaeologists' records! Meaning this temple was doomed to just be piles of stones like you see here. It wasn't until a LOT of funding & research could be devoted to this temple that they could start trying to piece it back together. They started in 2008 and still have a long way to go but the amount they've restored so far is amazing. That's why this is called the World's Largest Jigsaw Puzzle.: by sglass, Views[253]
         		 A shot of the rebuilt Baphuon temple wall-- extra stones still on the ground outside: by sglass, Views[229]
     
    Baphuon Temple: by sglass, Views[180]
         		 One more shot of stones- they are actually important because Baphuon is known as
         		 Stones littered this entire area for as far as you could see: by sglass, Views[187]
         		 by sglass, Views[144]
         		 Baphuon temple (we approached it from behind): by sglass, Views[195]
     
    Coming up to the outer wall of the Baphuon temple: by sglass, Views[178]
         		 by sglass, Views[248]
         		 Somewhere along the trail we came across more ruins overgrown with trees- photo op!: by sglass, Views[232]
         		 by sglass, Views[134]
         		 Some still-standing remains of the Palace complex's wall: by sglass, Views[159]
     
    We found one of the
         		 by sglass, Views[179]
         		 We walked through the whole site-- all that's left to indicate what used to be here are mossy blocks of stone: by sglass, Views[161]
         		 Rubble and jungle on the former site of the Angkorian Royal Palace: by sglass, Views[160]
         		 This was a lake or reservoir for the palace back in the day: by sglass, Views[126]
