A black and white photo of an endless stone corridor at Angkor Wat, where sunlight slices in diagonals and brushes over apsara sculptures, their weathered forms standing still, watching over an empty passage, as time deepens around them.

"Celestial Nymphs" An Apsara is a female spirit of the clouds and waters in Hindu and Buddhist mythology. The tradition of dance, honed for over a millennium, was almost lost in the Cambodian genocide. #Cambodia #apsara #khmer #genocide #buddhist #dance #portrait #mythology

An Apsara Dancer from Cambodia in a traditional dance pose. Khmer classical dancers use stylized movements and gestures to convey meaning and tell a story. These gestures are often vague and abstract while some may be easily understood. The apsara, a woodland spirit, is played by a woman, sewn into a tight-fitting traditional dress whose graceful, sinuous gestures are codified to narrate classical myths or religious stories. The tradition of dance, honed for over a millennium, was almost lost in the Cambodian genocide when the Khmer Rouge targeted those involved in the dance and "imposed a massive cultural forgetting". In 2003, UNESCO declared the dance a "Masterpiece of Oral and Intangible Culture", and laid plans for a regeneration of the art form.

Tomb Raider When Angkor was rediscovered in the early 20th century by French archaeologists, all of the temples had become overgrown--but none so spectacularly as Ta Prohm. #Cambodia #taprohm #stranglerfigtrees #Angkor #temple #Archaeology #architecture #photography #nikon

Built during the time of king Jayavarman VII and is best known as the temple where trees have been left intertwined with the stonework, much as it was uncovered from the jungle. It might be considered in a state of disrepair but there is a strange beauty in the marvelous strangler fig trees which provide a stunning display of the embrace between nature and the human handiwork.

Ta Prohm Temple Angkor. Silk-cotton and strangler fig trees took root in the loosened stones of the temple, which was built entirely without mortar. Their roots wound through the structure, creating an astonishing merger of nature and architecture.

Silhouette of the great pillars of Angkor Wat temple and the surrounding trees, reflect a mirror image in a pool of water. The sunrise changes the sky and a few clouds pink, orange and dark blue.

"Celestial Maidens" Their transformation to "Celestial Maidens" has begun. They have trained in classical dance since the age of six. Their training will last up to 15 years. #Cambodia #apsara #dancers #celestial #maidens #Buddhist #mythology #nymph #photography
