on December 26, 2017I love exploring ancient places like this. The building and architectural skills of the old ones are incredible to study today. They were very advanced for the time.

on December 26, 2017The effort and the craftsmanship that must have gone into building a temple such as this would be hard to comprehend !! But, in time, temples turn into ruins and gods dissapear into oblivion - cycle after cycle. Nothing lasts ....... Very much like the composition !!!
