MAGIC SHOT...EXCELLENT COMPENDIUM
As I have recently returned from Cambodia I view with interest and memories your amazing collection of history and pics from the temples of Siem Reap...and sigh with relief that as there are so many temples...so many sights...that when I blog these sights I can add to the compendium of images from this magic spiritual place and not attract "Jay took that one"!
