These photos were taken during two months in Indochina

Photo Gallery 26: Laos - Wat Phu Champasak

The Khmer temple complex of Wat Phu Champasak is contemporary with Angkor Wat in Cambodia
(10th-12th centuries), and linked to it by an ancient road; in 2001 it was made a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
