Prof. Cecilia S. Angeles, right, beloved FPPF instructor in the basic photography workshops, slipped off to Cambodia for three days last week with FPPF friend Maria Macabio, left, of Sta. Barbara, California. The travelling duo is seen here in the Angkor Wat ecosystem, with part of the Tonle Sap waters in the background. Just two days before that, the two, with FPPF Chairperson Edi Huang were in Palawan.

Tree roots engulf a part of the Angkor Wat sandstone complex built by Suryavarman ?? in the 12th century. The Angkor Wat in Siem Reap, Cambodia was vast, comparable in grandeur to the great pyramids of Egypt, until it was over-ran by time and abandoned for centuries, to sleep in a mantle of forest and rediscovered in the modern 1800s.
