2013, Day 63 - Painted morning

We awoke on our first full day in Siem Reap and stopped immediately for the sunrise at Angkor Thom.  Although we had visited the temple the night before it was a much different experience in the early morning.  The quality of the light was different but, more interestingly, we saw monks making their rounds to clean.  Specks of saffron would emerge from between trees or from behind a crumbling wall. They seemed to comes from nowhere making no noise and working diligently.  It was beautiful almost otherworldly but those kind of experiences seem almost common in Cambodia.
