In the top right corner is, I think, an image of a demon that covers the top of most if not all doorways, and sometimes supporting columns.
■
Bottom left corner is a depiction of a bird-faced being with a naga behind it.

Bottom right corner is a naga, a 7 headed snake that symbolizes the rainbow bridge between heaven and earth, and the naga is often portrayed behind buddha statues as a rainbow halo of light.

From the August 2016 return trip to Siem Reap and the Angkor complex:
I love the Angkor complex, Siem Reap, and the Cambodian people so much that I returned again for about a week to photograph as much of the “non-major” sites as I could. Some of them are slightly far from Angkor Wat (by that, I mean to say more than 10 kilometers away), and usually require a little more money to get to. Also, some of the sites (Beng Mealea, Phnom Kulen) are not included in the Angkor ticket price and have an additional admission fee.
I don’t know if there’s a set number of how many sites belong in the Angkor complex, though I’m sure it would vary. (Do you only count the major sites like Angkor Wat, Bayon, Ta Prohm? Do you add the sites that aren’t included in the standard “Angkor Pass,” but are clearly of the same era? Do you include sites that aren’t even named (as are one of the sites in this series)? All in all, I’ll put a very rough number at…50 sites in the Siem Reap area, and that includes the sites that are about 100 km away. Of those, I would say I’ve been to all but 5-10 now. All are included here with the exception, obviously, of the sites that I didn’t visit. (Off the top of my head, I can say they include Koh Ker & that respective group, which is about 120 km ENE of Siem Reap; Phnom Krom, one of the three “mountains” with temples; Ta Prohm Kel; and Mangalartha.)
In practical terms, I’m afraid that with the volume of shooting (about 1,500 frames in the past 7 days), photos will start to look redundant to those who don’t have the same interest in ancient/historical architecture or Angkor as I do. That being said, there are a few things besides temples here. The Old Market area (now Night Market/Pub Street) is represented – a little – and Phnom Kulen has a pretty nice waterfall which is also in this series. Also, I tried to catch a few people in here, though didn’t get as many as I would’ve liked.
I had my friend Mao (tuktuk driver) take me around for 5 of these 7 days this time around. As I mentioned last time, he may cost a little more than what you can arrange through a hotel/guesthouse, but he’s well worth the money (and, in the grand scheme of things, not too expensive; I paid less than $200 for the five days, two of which were “long” trips). He loves his country and heritage, he knows what he’s showing you, he’s flexible, he gives you enough ice water to keep you hydrated, and he’s just a good guy. (He even bought me a birthday cake for cryin’ out loud…) Anyway, I highly recommend Mao. You can find him here: www.facebook.com/mao.khvan (or on Trip Advisor: www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g297390-d10726821-R... )
Now that shameless plugs and other assorted rhetoric are out of the way, it’s time to get on to the temples, ruins, and other miscellany.
The Roluos Group. It sounds an awful lot like an investment firm, no? It actually refers to a group of three temples: Lo Lei, Preah Ko, and Bakong. They are among the oldest of the Angkor temples, predating Angkor Wat.
The three are quite near each other (obviously, as this is a “group” in the physical sense). However, I’m only presenting Bakong and Preah Ko here. I did see Lo Lei, but it’s essentially a sanctuary – a single tower – and when I saw it, there were two things working against it photographically. First was the absolutely torrential downpour. (This is the rainy season in Cambodia, after all, and I saw some rather fantastic thunderstorms, almost every day, but only a few minutes each day as a rule.) The other is that it’s currently under restoration and completely covered with scaffolding right now and, frankly, that doesn’t make for a very attractive picture. But, it was nice to see, and move on.
As I mentioned, the Roluos group is rather old. The three temples here all date to the late 9th century. At the time, this was Indravarman I’s capital (called Hariharalaya). When this was the capital, the only temple (if I’m not mistaken) that was built around the Angkor Wat area was Phnom Bakheng, which was dedicated in 907 AD by Yasovarman I.
Lo Lei is the first of the three that we visited. (Mao & I were with two Dutch guys on this day trip.) I’m glad it was the first of the sites we saw. It’s supposedly four brick towers, though I only saw the one completely covered in scaffolding. When this was built by Yasovarman I, it was on an islet. Now, it’s just a hill since the surrounding land is rice fields.
The second of the three Roluos sites we visited was Bakong (considered one of the top places to see an Angkor sunset…though most people don’t come out here). Also, of the three, Bakong is the only one that resembles the bigger “temples.” It was built and dedicated to Shiva by Indravarman I. It has a central temple surrounded by three outer walls and, finally, a moat. At the time of this visit, it was just after a rain and, like Lo Lei, it’s also currently under restoration (though, fortunately, not the main structure). It’s a sandstone structure, so would actually look quite good in afternoon light, though there was certainly none to be had on this day.
The last, and my favorite of the three, sites is Preah Ko. (“Preah” means “sacred,” which I mention here because it features in the names of quite a few of the Angkor sites. “Ko” is “cow/ox,” and I can think of that in conjunction with one other site.) So, the Sacred Ox temple, which consists of six prasats (stone halls) in two rows of three, is a site that was dedicated by Indravarman I to his deified ancestors in 880 AD.
As always, I hope you enjoy this set. I appreciate you taking time to look. If you have any questions, please feel free to send me a message or leave it via comment.

Not sure what temple in the complex, I took all my "ID" photos of the temple with my iPhone (which of course Geo locates thanks to its built in GPS) but I didn't realise my iPhone and 2 cameras had their time out of sync by some 15 or so minutes.
So these three shots are most likely Zuihō-in, but they could be Kono-in

Khi nhắc đến việc mua 1 căn nhà, nhiều người thường nghĩ phải vợ chồng cùng làm thì mới đủ tiền để sở hữu riêng một chốn an cư. Tuy nhiên, nhiều người "đơn phương độc mã" vẫn có thể sở hữu một chốn đi về cho riêng mình. Vậy người độc thân nên chọn mua nhà thế nào?
🔸 Nên mua căn hộ thay vì nhà mặt đất
Căn hộ có những điểm mạnh rất phù hợp với sự lựa chọn cho người độc thân như: cơ sở hạ tầng sẵn có, an ninh tốt, rất nhiều tiện ích tích hợp, nhiều diện tích đa dạng và nhất là giá cả hợp túi tiền. Vì họ chỉ cần những không gian sống vừa đủ với mức giá phải chăng.

The Mosque Külliye consists of the mosque, the (türbe) of Prince Mehmet (which was completed prior to the mosque), two Qur'an schools (medrese), a public kitchen (imaret) which served food to the poor, and a caravansarai. The mosque and its courtyard are surrounded by a wall that separates them from the rest of the complex.

The Qalawun complex (Arabic: مجمع قلاون) is a massive complex in Cairo, Egypt that includes a madrasa, a hospital and a mausoleum. It was built by the Sultan Al-Nasir Muhammad Ibn Qalawun in the 1280s; some thirty surviving mosques were built during his time.
The Qalawun Complex was built over the ruins of the Fatimid Palace of Cairo, with several halls in the Palace. It was sold to several people until it was finally bought by the Sultan Qalawun in 1283 AD. The structure resides in the heart of Cairo, in the Bayn al-Qasrayn, and has been a center for important religious ceremonies and rituals of the Islamic faith for years, stretching from the Mamluk dynasty through the Ottoman Empire.

This is the Philae Temple Complex, located on Agilkia Island, though it was originally located on Philae Island at Aswan in Upper Egypt. Constructed between 380 and 362 BC under Nectanebo I of the Ptolemaic Dynasty, the primary temple structure of the complex was built to honor Isis, the mother goddess and most important female deity in the Ancient Egyptian religion. The temple also gained quite a few smaller temples dedicated to various deities, including Hathor, and it is believed that the site was the last active Ancient Egyptian religious site after all pagan religious practices were banned by the Roman Empire in the 4th Century AD, in favor of Christianity, with the last known Ancient Egyptian hieroglyphic carving being found at the site, dating to the late 4th Century. In 537 AD, religious ceremonies were halted at the site by the local commander, and the structure then became the Church of St. Stephen, with many of the carved reliefs being vandalized and the stone columns and walls having carvings of crosses and other religious symbols being added, while the temple structure itself remained largely intact for over a millennia. The temple complex includes the Vestibule of Hadrian, a tall Roman-era structure, and several Ptolemaic-era column capitals that were never completed, and remain in an unfinished state. The temple attracted a lot of attention in the 19th Century due to its picturesque location, immaculate state of preservation, and lack of sediments or debris obscuring the structure. The darkest period in the structure’s history began in 1902, when the British government, which controlled Egypt at the time, constructed the Aswan Low Dam on the Nile River, with the water level behind the dam rising up over the base of the temple, damaging the structure. The dam was raised twice, further covering more of the structure and leading to yet more damage. When the Aswan High Dam was under construction in the 1960s, UNESCO stepped in and moved the temple to higher ground, rescuing it from its watery grave.
