Angkor, Ta Prohm & Flight of the Gibbon | Still Image Photography | Siem Reap

On this beautiful morning, we woke up around 4am so that we could go back to Angkor Wat to see the sunrise over the temple. We ended up with clouds and rain instead. It was still a beautiful photo!!

When we first arrived, it was so dark! I couldn't even see a few feet in front of me inside one of the temples. It was a little creepy walking around with just a flashlight. I was hoping nothing was going to reach out and grab me. Like one the monkeys we had seen there the day before. haha! Once we arrived at the "spot" for a great photo, we bought a little coffee and waited....and waited....and waited. It was worth the wait.....

Love the photo below....

Meditating inside one of the temples while waiting for everyone in the group. 

Headstands & handstands everywhere.....ha!

After leaving, we headed out to Ta Prohm a.k.a. Tomb Raider Temple because that is where the movie was filmed. It's also the place where we saw the Angelina Jolie tree. :) By this time it started to pour. It was really nice though. We enjoyed the beautiful rain. It had been so HOT so the change in weather was a wonderful little surprise. It didn't last long, but we enjoyed it while it lasted. :) 

All the trees here were BEAUTIFUL!

Angelina Jolie tree...<3

After leaving Ta Prohm, we were able to walk around our hotel for a few before heading out to the Flight of the Gibbon(zip lining). I didn't take many photos while walking around. I was a little tired and worried about the zip lining I agreed to do. :/

The photo below was taken after a few tears and a lot of persuasion for me to actually do the zip lining. I know I had agreed to do it earlier in the day, but once we got there, it was a different story. I was told that I could try one zip line and if I didn't like it, I could go down and not have to finish. YEAH RIGHT! Once you do one, you're stuck....you have to finish. Well for this zip line anyway. I was a little angry and little proud all at the same time. Proud I was up there and getting it done like a boss!! haha! In the end, I am glad I did it, but honestly, I will probably never do it again. It wasn't my cup of tea. 

By the way, we never saw a gibbon. I think we were the only gibbons up there. haha! 

Oh yeah....I forgot to mention I won the loudest scream award. haha! Everyone said my scream could be used in a horror movie. I was made fun of for two days. :|

Hope you enjoyed my photos! xoxo - Michelle
