During my 2 days of exploring the famous Angkor Wat and surrounding temples of Cambodia, I developed a subtle obsession with the unexpected—blocks. You see, these massive temples, carved from sandstone and volcanic rock, that’s all they are—just blocks of rock. After nearly a thousand years, nature made this obvious, revealing the stitch work in once seamless structures. When they finally gave way to the weather and tree roots, they simply tumbled down. Block over block…

Scattered blocks allowing our minds to wonder; how were they… no, how could they be stacked again? So I am taking a step away from any typical form of travel writing with this blog post, leaving you with photos that I hope you enjoy.
