terrace of the elephants
|
|
it's like a plaza normally found in europe but much more greener, considering the climate (have a comparison with our pride of nation - the countless paved plazas / squares found here in malaysia esp. putrajaya). for the least, our decision makers should have known despite their stupidity for power and money, pavers dont help in absorbing the heat. it's true that a wide, clear flat land creates a different setting for a space, but this one doesnt glare my eyes. shade? just have a look at the trees. a few would do.
this place once held celebral ceremonies, i guess mostly to the audience of the khmer royal. at one side is an elevated stoneworks that became the royal's seating place and on the other side, separated by the plaza / field, is a series of typical towers, 12 to be exact called baphuon.
oh, and i'm yet to publish a combined images that shows how the whole plaza looks like.
