Angkor,
Cambodia
The
image shows the temple complex of Angkor. The large
bluish-black rectangle is the Western Baray (reservoir),
part of Angkor’s famous irrigation system. The large
square to its east is Angkor Thom, a fortified city.
The brown spot at the centre of the square is the Bayon,
a monumental structure. To its south is the fabled temple
of Angkor Wat, surrounded by a wide moat. Other temples
and the Eastern Baray are located round the complex.
The road running south from Angkor Wat goes to the nearby
town of Siem Reap. The wide bluish strip to the south
is the flooded lake of Tonlé Sap. |
