Thanks Glenda, I had got it wrong obviously.

I am pleased to say we own three of Mike's originals and dozens of prints which are beautiful too. The prints aren't so expensive maybe you could get one or two. Of course, being family, we get special rates LOL.

Angkor Thom means great city; Angkor Wat means city temple.

Yes, I've been Greece. I was fearfully impressed with some of the really old stuff – like Mikenae or the Minoan civilisation – the idea that people could achieve so much so long ago.

BTW, I've just been over at the Scolopax Chronicles — I would fill my house with Mike's paintings if I could. They are just wonderful.

Thinking about it, what exactly does angkor mean Glenda? One is very familiar with the word, but I don't know exactly how to define it. I always thought it meant temple or something similar.

Have you ever visited Greece. Its not just the temples etc. themselves, its the wonderful spots they chose to build in the first place.

Think of Roman aquaducts…And the Egyptians before that…yes, indeed.

More incredible pix Glenda, thanks for sharing. Thinking about the age factor, the Greeks and the Romans were building pretty impressively even before that time weren't they? Certainly a lovely spot for a vacation.
