Nature is the study of how life acts and interacts within the circle of existence. When we take the time to examine the beauty of the world around us, we are able to see parallels within our own lives. One who is attuned with nature is attuned with the practice of living. All of nature moves in a spiral as do our personal lives. It is important to spend time in nature because in this way we can become attuned to its wisdom.

Siem Reap III

Ta Prohm has a romantic appeal..overgrown and gently declining, yet with hidden corners and mysterious spots..

Ta Prohm

One of the major temples of Jayavarman VII, a temple-monastery, Ta Prohm features a set of concentric galleries with corner towers. The complexity of its layout is increased by its partly collapsed state, with trees interlaced among the ruins. A significant amount of work was done to prevent further collapse and enough clearing of vegetation to allow entry. The trees intertwined among the ruins are mainly silk-cotton tree and strangler fig.
