Time left Cambodia (1): the myth of light and shadow

There are some strange place, met on one occasion, becomes a heart in landscape.

There are some unfamiliar names, read time became familiar to the chest of the syllable.

For example, the first life, such as a friend.

For example, in Cambodia, Angkor.

The myth of light and shadow

In the morning, Angkor Lotus Pool front have stood in a circle.

Quietly, waiting for the sunrise.

The sky is clear, the color is pale as clear eyes.

Angkor was still dark, the five-seater Lotus Spire, pressure in the pale blue of the sky, there is a silent Majesty.

The crowd began to whisper, worried about the Sun had risen.

They are right.

But they are wrong.

Round Golden halos from Lotus Spire looks infected after slowly, crowd silently.

The Sun is rising up early, but still need time to gradually climbing tower of Angkor.

Suddenly, a very bright gold shoulder from the Tower, as dazzling as though the whole world of light are little dot ceiling.

Not only brilliant, simply brilliant.

Impression Sunrise should be gentle, but here's the Sunrise has a burning man.

All the temples of Angkor, only Angkor Western-oriented.

Great silhouette stretch in Chaoyang, Lotus petals of the Tower, a layer with a layer of clear rendering. Very bright light, very dark shadows, the Angkor unique sunrise.

The Sun is out, the sky became extremely blue very blue.

Pure blue of the sky, memory is extremely distant and cold, snowy mountains and the steppe, are but here is tropical, hot Sun Fire General roasting skin.

Sit in the Temple of Angkor and spacious hall, the head is the bright blue sky, hot sun shining brightly to spread before us, but I have been a huge shadow into cool.

Surrounding the cloisters layers, it seems endless, posts to a ray of sunshine to comb a WISP, is pure light, one side is absolutely cool. Light and shadow, and true, but two separate things. Even the charm of the Angel, also often half of sunshine, half hide in the shadows.

Sharp opposition, harmonious unity.

Angkor days in my lens was always find a scene, you can work out in the corridor of finely crafted,---and evocative scenery of the corridor.

Have to keep taking photos.

Gradually understand that this is probably the unique charm of Angkor.

Angkor is the best representative.

I'm three days into the Angkor three times, each time to feel the power of combining the two. Her work reflects and vicissitudes of life, her loud and quiet, her open-minded and melancholy, her high above and within reach.

Even in our time, here are like two speed, or stagnation to zero, or shuttle past.

Even the Sun, also acted, Sunrise is overbearing like to exhaustion Finally, sunset but chic like waved so natural.

Angkor's most famous sunset, in the mountain nesbakken.

Twilight, innumerable tourists flock to the small hill, their hands and feet climb bakheng and narrow and steep stairs, in order to see the sunset. Sunset Golden glory play on them, I think that's the same with the sunset was touching the screen.

Mountain nesbakken, than grains like gorgeous sunset Temple.

People had packed sitting in the top of the Tower, devoutly watching the distant jungle. Sun generously put gold light spread into every brick and each face, big red Sun gradually sinking in the jungle, next to the hot air balloon as a companion stars, glimmering.

At most, still Angkor sunset.

Lotus Spire are dyed blonde, the Sun is coming down the mountain, painters last time tracing. Abruptly, golden colour will quickly fade away.

Look the Sun sinking in the sky, just issued a red blue light.

Lotus pond and flowers are convergent, have to wait until the next morning, they would welcome the rising sun.
