EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Chor Sokunthea, tourists eagerly await the breathtaking moment when the sun rises over the majestic Angkor Wat in Siem Reap, Cambodia. The scene is set on March 1,2007, as a group of individuals from different corners of the world gather in anticipation of witnessing one of nature's most awe-inspiring spectacles. As darkness slowly gives way to light, these intrepid travelers stand in quiet reverence amidst the ancient ruins that have withstood centuries. Bathed in soft hues of orange and pink, their silhouettes create a striking contrast against the silhouette of Angkor Wat - an architectural masterpiece steeped in history and spiritual significance. The atmosphere is filled with palpable excitement and wonder as each person holds their breath for that magical moment when the first rays break through the horizon. It is a testament to human curiosity and our innate desire to connect with something greater than ourselves. This image serves as a reminder that despite our diverse backgrounds and languages spoken, we are united by our shared appreciation for natural beauty and cultural heritage. It encapsulates both the timeless allure of Angkor Wat and its ability to inspire awe within those fortunate enough to witness its grandeur. Chor Sokunthea's skillful lens has immortalized this fleeting instance where time stands still; where tourists become witnesses to an ethereal sunrise over one of mankind's greatest achievements.
