This will be better and will make more sense to you if you begin this series with "Exploring the Mystical Beauty of Ta Prohm Temple Part 1"

A detail of the intricate artwork along one of the ancient walls.


A family of locals finally showed up to keep us company. Their little daughter is taking a break. As with so many others at this site, that building behind the tree is leaning.

This tree grew around Buddha. It looks as if he liked it. That makes sense as, among his many other positive attributes, Buddha loved and respected nature.

A death grip! Those railings were meant to keep visitors safely away from this rapidly crumbling structure. and some of them, further back, are actually holding it up.


This gives you some sense of the size of everything. Sorry, but I neglected (forgot) to straighten out the buildings as I usually do.

Here's a closer, straighter picture of those same buildings.


A couple of geriatrics at the site, my wife with her trusty walking stick. Note the passes around our necks. (I say this all the time, but I miss that hat.)

Beautifully shown, Mel. Have you not yet found a good Tilley hat replacement? Or is that a new one hasn’t been properly broken in yet?

I bought a replacement years ago, and it's just fine. But it's not the one that grew old with me, and it never could be.

When your hat was stolen you lost an old friend Mel.

I still miss it. I only wore it when I traveled. It went through a lot with me and, without going into needless details, it actually protected me on more than one occasion.

I can't even start to imagine how long it took people so long ago to do all that beautiful work on the buildings.
All very interesting, the pictures and the story behind them.
And look....there she is, your lovely Bronx Bride...still smiling!
