Scenic shots at Wat Phu

The southern palace seen from the upper level of Wat Phu
I still have a ton of photos and descriptions to post from my recent visit to Laos including a final flurry from the Khmer temple at Wat Phu. Here are some scenic shots from the temple to keep you in the mood, showing the beautiful views to be found at the site.

I enjoyed my visit to Wat Phu, but when it was over my only thought was 'Is that it?' You couldn't even climb over the ruins!

2 years later my only memory of the place are the three girls at the top that were selling drink. Yai and Lek (sisters) and a beautiful girl that was looking for a boyfriend.

I enjoyed your pictures.
