The temple ruins of Angkor Wat in Cambodia are vast and complex. Within the moss covered fallen stone carvings so many stories have been preserved. Although I read many tour books and hired my own local guide to take me through the 1000 year old city of the vanished Khmer Empire, it was the local children who showed me the best surprise of all. The ancient temples are their playgrounds, dance studios, and history classroom so they were my best guides of all. I photographed for three weeks and on my very last day I got to see their most special secret place.
