As I stood before the majestic Bayon temple in Angkor Thom, I was captivated by the serene expression of the stone face framed perfectly in the window. This photograph, titled "Face in the Window," captures a moment that felt both timeless and magical. The intricate details of the stonework tell stories of a rich heritage, echoing the whispers of history that linger in the air.
I stood in this spot for what seemed like hours as person after person filed by the face as they walked along the balcony. Interestingly, no one entered the room I was standing in, so they did not see the framing of the face in the window that I was so anxious to capture. Eventually, my wife was able to get some folks to wait for just a few precious seconds as I took this photograph. It is one of my favorites from this visit to the Bayon.
This piece is more than just a photograph; it’s a window into a moment of connection with the past. The Bayon temple, with its unique blend of architecture and spirituality, left a lasting impression on me. I hope this image resonates with you, evoking the same sense of wonder I felt that day.
