Ta Prohm the Jungle Temple built by King Jayavarman VII to honour his mother in 1186 was a royal monastery. This temple was chosen by Ecole Francaise d'Extereme Orient to be left in its "natural state" as an example of how most of Angkor looked on its discovery in the 19th Century. So some of these majestic trees are left growing over the temple. This temple was used as a outdoor set in the filming of "The Tomb Raiders" and the picture above was where Angelina Jolie emerge from the entrance in the film. It was late evening when the pictures were taken giving rise to a beautiful golden glow on the trunks of the trees.
