Banteay Samre, Spring 2008

This is the entrance to Prasat's Banteay Samre.	A doorpost with plant motifs and female figures.	A grassy courtyard.	A balustrade ending with a Naga.
Monkeys adorn a corner above a doorway.	Floral designs on a stone door.	A view between buildings.	Roof Nagas and roof ornaments.
Looking into a stone doorway.	Inside Banteay Samre looking out.	Pointed roofs.	A close up of a balustrade Naga.
Naga and figure carvings above a doorway.	A carving of a couple. This may be a Maithuna or "loving couple," a popular Hindu motif.	More figures above the doorway.	Roof designs.
Human figures and vine-like designs.	A view of the whole upper doorway.	A side view of one of the building entrances.	A view of the outer wall.
A corner floral design. In the corner of the carving is a small, crouching figure.	Roof layers.	A really nice unbroken window.	A closer look at the carvings around the window.
A decorative doorway.	A closeup of the worn and broken carvings above the doorway.	More figures.	A Naga tucked in a corner.
Looking through doorways.	A corner of the outer wall.	Different layers of the roof from a corner.	Cows grazing in the temple area.
Two lion sculptures from the rear.	A stone walkway.	A man sweeping the temple grounds.	Looking back at Banteay Samre.
Carvings on stone steps.	Another view of the lions at the end of the walkway.	Closeup rear view of the lions.	Khmer children sit near one of the lions.
Levels on the stone pathway.	A roadside basket seller near the temple.	A chicken and her chicks.	Signs in a restroom: no smoking, no standing on the toilet seat, no washing your feet and no showering. (As if you'd want to go barefoot or shower in there).
