Ta Phrom Temple and its Gigantic Trees and Roots
Ta Phrom Temple, built in 1186, is said to be one of the most romantic and appealing temples of Ankor. Gigantic trees and roots have invaded the temple buildings, intertwining and disrupting the walls and statues. This temple was chosen by Ecole Francaise de Extreme Orient to be left in its natural state as an example of how most of Ankor looked on its discovery in the 19th century. This inspired decision involved a significant amount of work to prevent further collapse and enough clearing of vegetation to allow entry

EDITORS COMMENTS
Ta Phrom Temple in Siem Reap, Cambodia is a stunning example of the harmony between nature and architecture. Built in 1186, this temple has been overtaken by gigantic trees and roots that have intertwined with the walls and statues, creating a mesmerizing sight for visitors.
The decision to leave Ta Phrom Temple in its natural state was an inspired one by Ecole Francaise de Extreme Orient. This choice allows us to see how most of Ankor looked when it was first discovered in the 19th century. The amount of work required to prevent further collapse while still maintaining the integrity of the temple is truly remarkable.
In this print captured by Photos from Japan, Asia and other parts of the world, we can see the sheer size and power of these ancient trees as they reach towards the sky. The contrast between man-made structures and nature's unstoppable force is both beautiful and humbling.
Visiting Ta Phrom Temple is like stepping back in time and experiencing a piece of history frozen in time. It serves as a reminder of our connection to nature and how even centuries-old buildings are no match for Mother Earth's relentless growth.
