Today's daily photo, Angkor Face, is quite obviously from Angkor in Cambodia. At this point I don't know which temple complex this face is from as I've misplaced my notes but its probably one of the gates to the ancient city of Angkor Thom. I took this back in '92. I've always meant to go back but not yet made the opportunity. Back then it was still fairly hazardous, Siem Reap was overseen by the United Nations (UNTAC). The agreement that ended the civil war had been hammered out just a few months earlier in paris in 1991. Around Siem Reap the locals were regularly getting injured by land mines sown in the rice paddies and tourists were advised to stick to the well worn paths and the main roads as lots of stories were circulating of tourists being kidnapped. I actually found the place to be quiet and the people incredibly gracious.
