During my visit to Siem Reap, Cambodia last year (2012), I was definitely blown away by what I have seen. I know there are lots of masterpieces out there but I think the Angkor Area has proven that man has the talent to do more.
I was amaze on how this masterpiece, when human does not have the kind of machinery that we have right now. Aliens? Nah. I guess humans of long time ago are more imaginative and inventive, using what are currently available.
The best masterpieces , I believe comes from Nature, the greatest designer and architect of all. I was in awe just looking at this tree at Ta Prohm in Siem Reap. I really do believe there are Ents taking care of the trees in Ta Prohm.
Back in Japan, I was totally amaze when I first saw the Ginkakuji (Golden Temple) in Kyoto. This one in particular was taken just after a day of snow. The contrast between the snow and the golden temple was really amazing.
There are still other amazing masterpieces out there and I hope I can see them all before my time expires. 😀 Have a great weekend everyone.

I want to visit this place so bad!
I hope you can 🙂
Great photos. The Golden Temple really is lovely with the snow. I saw it MANY years ago but in the summer. I think I need to revisit!
To see it in different season is really nice. I’ve still got to see it during spring with all the cherry blossom and autumn when the every thing changes color. I do hope you visit it again.

Wonderful examples. I think the first is my fave.
Bayon is definitely a work of the masters. I could not stop staring at those faces.
