Description

Location: Cambodia, Siem Reap, Prasat Pram

Further south at the road to Angkor is Prasat Pram. The sanctuary has five towers, “Pram” means “five” and "Prasat" means "Tower". Two of the towers are surmounted by trees with their roots strangling the brick buildings. The roots of the strangler fig on the towers are the most picturesque example of fusion of architecture and nature.

We humans transform landscapes and leave our unmistakable marks on the world. But these marks are not always indelible, because when we move out, nature quickly moves in to stake its claim once more
