So today we have the exciting sequel of the Bayon. There are a few more particularly special pictures of the Bayon to show you after this, but today we'll focus on Bodhisattva heads and windows.
It should be understood that both of us had to wait in line to get pictures from this window, amongst some particularly urgent French folks with very French ways about them. Yes, we care that much about getting you pictures like this. Such sacrifice, such caring. Remind anyone of Buddhist saints...? We welcome all exclamations of thanks.
OK, so I'm not a Bodhisattva. But darned if the smiling faces at the Bayon don't remind me of Sam when she's content. And check out the carvings around that window!
(perhaps now is a good time to mention that most carvings you see of the Angkor cities are in sandstone, which is not known as a particularly easy rock to carve, or, unfortunately for the Angkor legacy, to last through the ages)
