After decades of civil war, grim headlines & endless misery, the fascinating country of Cambodia is finally at peace.  Having only recently opened its doors to unrestricted travel, it is as yet, still an unspoiled jewel of a destination.  The temples of Angkor, built between the 9th and 14th centuries & spread out over some 200 square miles are one of the foremost architectural wonders of the world and left me feeling like Indiana Jones.  Truly spectacular.  Many other images are available.
