| 説明 | Interesting oyster shaped rock formation with the phallic Lingas in the foreground al Kbal Spean, one of the scores of Angkor era religious sites around Siem Reap, Cambodia. Love the way the creepers fall over the edge, looks like water dripping down. You can see some incomplete carvings on the second rock from the top as well. Kbal Spean is described as a spectacularly carved riverbed, set deep in the jungle to the northeast of Angkor. The river over which the bridge head exists is also known as Stung Kbal Spean, a tributary of the Siem Reap River that rises in the Kulein mountains north of Banteay Srei. The river bed cuts through sandstone formations, and the many architectural sculptures of Hindu mythology have been carved within the sandstone. The archaeological site occurs in a stretch of the river starting from 150 mtr upstream north of the bridge head to the falls downstream. The river, being sanctified by flowing over the religious sculptures, flows downstream, bifurcating into the Siem Reap River and Puok River, which eventually flows into the Tonlé Sap Lake after passing through the plains and the Angkor temple complex. Known as the River (or Valley) of 1000 lingas, Kbal Spean is renowned particularly for the 1000 lingas (Hindu phallic symbol) carved onto the bedrock of the river. Detailed notes about Kbal Spean appeared earlier in this album (see previous pictures). (Siem Reap, Cambodia, Oct. 2008) |
