This is an amazingly unimpressive shot of the temple Prah Ko, one of three temples I visited in the afternoon of my first day. These three temples are part of the "Rulous" group, named after one of the Khmer Empire's original capital cities. They are worth seeing because they date from the 9th century and are the first examples of the Khmer Empire getting serious about their temple building. This one, Prah Ko, was built by a king to house the ashes of his family and himself (I think). Anyway, it looks crumble-y from far away but is quite elaborate up close ...
