Well said @joanstewart. Indeed, historic architecture like these temple ruins will always be windows to the past as they reveal important clues on how our ancient ancestors existed with their respective built environments. I agree, the watchful eyes of the human faces on the Bayon Temple's towers, though intimidating for some, are strong reminders of the presence of higher powers that safeguard their faithful. 👍
Truly grateful for your kindness, much appreciated! 😊
My neighbours had the good fortune of visiting this region, one twin actually lived in Cambodia for a year. Attracted to ancient ruins the twins managed to travel to Easter Island and Inca ruins. Would be far too expensive from our part of the world to do this now.
Always appreciate historical places!
Oh wow! I'm glad your neighbors invested precious time, energy, and financial resources for these kinds of expeditions that explore ancient ruins such as Easter Island and the Inca sites. Despite being expensive ventures, these travel experiences are priceless and worthwhile at the end of the day! 👍 And I agree, historical landmarks will always nourish our souls. Have an awesome one! 😊
Both do art, one oil paintings the other ink, teachers by profession, neither married, have spent time getting to some very unusual places between 2000 and 2015. Seeing their work after travels, hearing the stories extremely interesting.
Fascinating! 👍 Wish I also had neighbors like them. If only I could join them in their adventurous quests around the world, that would definitely be one incredibly fulfilling life. Kindly extend my warmest regards to those fabulous artists. They deserve a great pat on the back! 😊
Remote places most definitely not easy to access, great adventures filled with historical stories which they photographed, painted some later.
One painting in superb detail was of Petra in Jordan, they enjoyed North Africa as well. Pyramids, Giza, Egypt they were a little disappointed with being too close to civilization, although they enjoyed the exceptionally large Egyptian market that would have scared me to death.
Currently teaching here in South Africa for the past 10+ years have visited remote places locally, not sure if they planning more I will ask !LOLZ Amazing what you are able to accomplish with a twin brother, similar interests, never married 🙂

That's wonderful! They seem to pursue quite an interesting, fun, and adventurous life. And I agree, it's always enjoyable to share in their conversations and be impressed by their various stories - let alone the valuable connection you already have with them. Cheers! 😊👍
