Siem Reap and Angkor Wat World Heritage Site Photos
The photos on this page were taken over a week's time in July/August 2006.  The stunning countryside of Cambodia provides many opportunities to discover new places and meet new friends.  The Cambodians are very friendly.  Even in the face of abject poverty, many are happy because when they see tourists visiting, they know the country is at peace.   Click on the Shutterpoint link on the homepage to view many other quality high resolution photographs available for purchase.
