Ta Prohm at Angkor Wat in Siem Reap, Cambodia

There is a sort of mysticism about this temple. Ancient and wild splendor. A sort of gentle unruliness. Ta Prohm was once known as Rajavihara or monastery of the king but its modern name means ancestor Brahma. Part of the original Angkor Wat complex, it was built in 1186 A.D. What makes this temple notable are the trees that grow around and on the temple.
