Temples of Ankor - Artistry

Two sets of photos of Ankor (you try to cut down 150 photos to less!): the first focuses on the jaw-dropping artistry.
At first glance of your first temple, it's hard not to get the slightest chill. Ours happened to be Ankor Wat as the sun was setting, a long-time dream-come-true for me. The size, detail, style - every aspect is breathtaking (as is the 35 degrees plus seemingly 120% humidity).
As you tour them, though, you start to feel as though they're millennium-old jungle gymns for history buffs. You can basically touch everything, climb on everything, and naturally take pictures of everything. While they're quite similar, they're all quite unique as well. Even though we saw eleven three days, it's easy to remember aspects of all of the them.
