natural framing...love it. Nice name "Reach for the sky" I'm curious to know where the roots of this tree are.

@Colour blind: Although it provided me with a great shot this tree has taken on the roof of the temple. The roots are breaking up the stone, therefore causing parts of the roof to collapse.
Happily, all trees growing on the temples in Angkor are now very closely monitored in an attempt to restrict major damage to the temples.

Darren Halliday from Toyko, Japan

Great angle. Interesting place for a tree.

Fantastic! Angkor Wat is remarkably over-photographed. You've captured the mystique of the jungle's reclamation of the site, while avoiding the tourist-shot. I hope to visit someday.

This is a nice perspective, i have never been to Cambodia, not allowed to leave Canada. Nice work on an original viewpoint.
