This was taken at Beng Melea temple in Cambodia, destroyed forever by the vegetation;
One of the largest Angkor temples Beng Mealea was built under King Suryavarman II, the founder of Angkor Wat. It is commonly believed to be a forerunner or 'blueprint' for Angkor Wat itself and is decorated in substantially the same art style. The temple has remained in its collapsed state, partly hidden by jungle and until recently rather inaccessible due to poor road conditions and landmines. Around 2003 the landmines were cleared by CMAC - Cambodia Mines Action Center and the Halo Trust and the temple opened to the public.
