[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
When I arrived at Siem Reap after an exhausting bus trip started in Phnom Penh I took a tuk-tuk to see te sunset at Angkor Wat. What I didn't know is that the "place to be" at Angkor during a sunset wasn't Angkor Wat, but the temple mountain. So although I was quite tired I went by feet up on the hill loaded with my photo gear. When arrived at the next surprise waited: A huge temple ruin and to get on top of that you had to climb another thirty meters via horrifying steep stairs...and I did. The view was breathtaking as you can see. Well worth all the sweat I lost :-)

Prachtig licht, Hans !
Mooie natuur, hoewel ik het persoonlijk een beetje 'kaal' vind lijken. Of komt dat door de hoogte, en zijn er veel kleine bomen?
groeten,
Joop!

Ongelofelijk mooi Hans,een prachtplek om de dag af te sluiten met een Angkor bier...
Om eerlijk te zijn had ik de vallei ietsje lichter gemaakt,maar ...das een kwestie van smaak Hans.

Good on you Hans, I think I would have chickened out seeing those steep steps.

But what a spectable of colours and what a view.
So double thanks for going up all the way.

Have a nice weekend,
Els

Hi Hans,
A beautiful view for sure, a very rewarding capture of the view at sunset time, and a beautiful sunset it is. Colors are so nice with good saturation and the cloud patterns are superb. Composed and exposed well. A very nice shot Hans!

Lyndon

Very beautiful work here Hans !
The interplay of the colours/hues in the sky is stunning. Lovely placement of the group of trees compositionally.
Well done. Best regards, Daniel
