Bayon is lesser known then Angkor Wat, thus, my surprised, excitement with joy when I had first glimpse of it from far away.
The whole complex were consists of towers with huge faces. One tower has four faces facing north, south,
east and west. The faces were seamed all
looked identical.
Once you entered the temple
compound, you are up close with these
gigantic faces. Aside from the usual
photography, our local guide is an experienced photographer who had instructed
us how to be photographed so that our nose will be face to face with the nose
of the face on the tower. Some of the
photos also showing two giant faces who have their nose to nose with each
other. I was impressed.
At the base of the temple, you
will see stone carvings again on the walls that tell stories. Lions and cobras were again set in front of
the entrances.
