Wat temple was that?

Today was Temple day and decided to take everyones advice and only try to do three temples in one go, called the mini tour, it covers the three major temples around Ankor. These Being Ankor Wat, the Tomb Raider Temple and the other one. The whole temple complex of Ankor, which was the Khmer peoples capital and this is where the king lived, at least up until about 300 years ago when everybody seemed to disappear and the place melded back into the jungle.

The Tomb Raider one -overgrown with trees and falling apart






If you look closely in the centre, a little smiling face is peeking out.
