Angkor Thom and Bayon Temple_13 November 2018

One side of the bridge leading to Angkor Thom is lined with devils, the other with gods.Our guide, Fin, on the left, is obviously descended from the gods.




I met a traveller from an antique land
Who said: Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert. Near them on the sand,
Half sunk, a shatter'd visage lies, whose frown
And wrinkled lip and sneer of cold command
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
Which yet survive, stamp'd on these lifeless things,
The hand that mock'd them and the heart that fed.
And on the pedestal these words appear:
"My name is Ozymandias, king of kings:
Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!"
Nothing beside remains: round the decay
Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare,
The lone and level sands stretch far away.

















"I tell you, the vintage in Year 1 was terrific!"
If you don't catch the fish the crocodile will.
Go to war with your elephant, come back with many slaves.


The mighty faces at Bayon.
