061228 - Siem Reap 161 (Ta Prohm)
What the Lonely Planet and many local guide books refer to as the Tomb Raider tree, which led Angelina Jolie through a secret trap door that magically transported her to Pinewood Studios in England. It's hard to tell, but there were about a dozen tourists jockeying to get photos of the tree. It too a lot of persistence and patience to get this shot without a crowd in the photo climbing all over.
When French explorers "discovered" the ruins of Ta Prohm, much of it had been reclaimed by nature. Though much of the grounds have been cleared and restored, many of the trees have penetrated and become integral parts of building structures (in many cases, the root structure of trees are the only thing holding some buildings up)
