haunted by the past..

During the 1970s and the early 80's Cambodia lost 2 million people due to starvation, overwork and mass execution during the Khmer Regime when Pol Pot was the cruel dictator. It also had several wars with neighbouring countries which wanted to capture Cambodia for its rich culture and these majestic temples. Well at least the country is doing much better now and I hope they do well for themselves from here on.
The idea of this image came to me when I visited the Angkor wat early in the morning to catch the Sunrise. The past few days I heard a lot about Cambodia and its troublesome history of wars etc and that was playing in my mind all the while.
When I was inside the many corridors of Angkor Wat, I wanted to take a long exposure of people or monks. There were no monks that day but I could find many people walking by. I placed the camera on the floor (because I had no tripod) and got this shot.
Wish you all a wonderful weekend ahead. Thanks for your visit and comments.
