I don't know which of the 250 photos I took today to post. And I really tried to limit my picture taking today. If this or any other shot looks vaguely familiar it's probably because you've seen something similar in a movie, most notably Lara Croft Tomb Raider. This is the eastern gate of Angkor Thom which was a palace city built more or less 1000 years ago by the Khmer king. There is tons of info out there on this place so I'll let you do your own research if you care. I think any time humans put one block on top of another and they're still standing after 1000 years, it's pretty impressive. If those blocks can also communicate something about the people who set them up that makes it even more amazing.
