In Cambodia we saw numerous beautiful and old trees and flowers. I have already posted about the flowers at http://wp.me/p29z7S-i3, and this is a short photo essay on the various trees that we saw here.
While Cambodia is also seeing its fair share of deforestation, there are still numerous old trees around the temples and in some surviving jungles. These old trees have also created some unique shapes and backdrops, which I am sharing with you.
The tree with a face
Steps made of roots
Columns and Trees
All shades of green with a tinge of red
Fern Tree at Angkor Wat
Parasite tree – A tree is living off another tree and will eventually kill it
The Palm Tree – Locals use every part of this tree
The Killer Tree in Phnom Penh
The Temple Tree of Ta Promh
Enjoy 🙂

Hi Snigdha, This is what makes blog reading so much fun. You have educated me today with a little knowledge I acquired from photos of these unique trees. I am going to look at these trees differently when I go to Cambodia (not planned yet) and think of this blog. Fae. 🙂

Nice to know that you have specially taken images of all the trees. Not many people care about tress. The beauty, texture, the unique shapes and the sheer longevity of the trees is something to be admired.

Hey Sabyasachi. I so agree with you and feel that along with local sightseeing we should always include more focus on nature around in these places… I love photographing trees as a subject as I am yet to see 2 trees that look completely alike. Its good to meet more people who agree with me…

Hey getsetandgo, thanks for stopping by my blog earlier. I visited Cambodia over a decade ago and still have some very vivid memories of the country. I remember the giant tree roots that overran parts of Angkor Wat! Amazing photos.
