| Description | The sunrise over the Angkor Wat temple in Siem Reap, Cambodia has already taken place (see previous pictures earlier in this album), but the magical colours of dawn were so magical that I simply had to go back to it again. The best colours and views are seen from the reflecting pool to the left of the entrance causeway, just before you reach the entrance corridor to the main temple- that is this spot right here. You only have to hope and pray that it is not a cloudy day. Also, it's better to buy your ticket after 17:00 the previous day (which will be valid up to 17:00 the next day) or get an Angkor season's ticket (available for one, three and seven day duration) so that you will not waste time standing in queue, running the risk of missing out on the magical colours or not getting a proper vantage point for viewing, as the place gets pretty crowded. The magical colours appear differently in different times of the year. While mine, taken in October 2008, the pre- sunrise hues were pink, purple and lavender, in this picture, taken around July- August, taken by my friend in Siem Reap Mr Marom Hem, the pre-sunrise views have more of orange- yellow - beige hues.
