The Stone Masons Garden
Cambodia 2022
13.02.2023
On our return from Banteay Chhmar to Siem Reap, we stopped at this beautiful stone mason's garden. Whilst I see these as a common feature here in Thailand, and not too dissimilar is this Cambodian one.
Quite often because I am travelling from one place to another I don't often have time to stop and take in the enormous amount of work and skill that goes into these sculptures.
They do differ, especially when it comes to the Buddhas/Gods and other deities.
I could have spent longer here, photographing them all, but I think this gives anyone a good flavour of what is there.
Please click on the image to see the wonderful collection there!
