Angkor Cambodia

You know the camera adores a place when it steals the spotlight from Angelina Jolie. But theres much more to the worlds largest religious structure than its fame as a filming location for 2001sLara Croft: Tomb Raider. For centuries after Angkors abandonment in the 1400s, the gargantuan complex of walls, terraces, residences and temples lay cloaked in jungle. As it turns out, this slow decay has enhanced the site for photographers (and moviemakers), with tree roots wrapped evocatively around ornate temples.
