Giant Trees At The Cambodian Temple Of Ta Prohm

Ta Prohm is a temple at Angkor, Cambodia, built in the late 12th and early 13th centuries. Located east of Angkor Thom, Ta Prohm has been left in much the same condition in which it was found.

Huge trees, reminiscent of ancient redwoods and oaks, are blended into the walls, and rocks hugging the giant roots gives the temple a surreal appearance. The photogenic and atmospheric combination of trees growing out of the ruins and the jungle surroundings have made it one of Angkor's most popular temples with visitors.

Here's a 360° panorama of Ta Prohm.
