{Lone Ranger Finding His Loving Wife}
(September 19, 2015)
Watching the remains of the once best buildings in the world, with tentatively thought of the past, and letting go of the past, letting go all unhappiness in our life, breathing in fresh forest air with eye-seeing breathtaking scenery, lets welcome all the goods then ......
Still on the first day of our visit to the Angkor Archaeological Park , we're moving on to another part of this large area.
 |
| a hidden Kingdom |
Angkor Wat is the ultimate destination inside the Angkor Archaeological Park.
 |
| Angkor Wat |
 |
| the sign of God |
Angkor Wat consists of many levels.
 |
| walking up the cloud |
There are a lot more buildings inside an upper level platform. After walking up to the first level, there are a few more levels inside the flat and large concrete platform.
 |
| Khmer dancers performing inside the Angkor Wat |
 |
| a high incline stair to another level |
 |
| capturing spectacle constructions & marvelous carvings |
While we pursuing to the west side of this level, we seen numerous of full body portrait carvings on the surrounding wall surface.
Some scholars refer these women portraits as devatas (deities) if portrayed in large and individual sculptures; whereas if portrayed in smaller carvings and in group, then they are apsaras (dancers and singers of the gods).
Do you aware that all these devatas or apsaras carvings are different in eyes, nose, mouth and face outline? Even the hair styles, jewelry designs, hand positions, fabric patterns are different from one to another.
