Buildings & Trees Intertwined at Angkor Wat

The best example I can think of ‘Trees & Buildings’ combined is at Angkor Wat in Cambodia.

Most of the temples have been cleaned up of overgrowth but a lesser temple has been left in ruins.

We probably should have taken a shot of all the people waiting their turn; it might have been more interesting.
