Tourists walk along a long stone causeway leading toward the Angkor Wat temple complex in Siem Reap, Cambodia, under a clear pale sky. Three tiered sandstone spires rise at the centre of the temple, flanked by palm trees and low stone balustrades. Visitors in t-shirts, shorts, hats and sunglasses stroll in both directions, including a red-shirted man with a crossbody bag and a woman in a red top and patterned trousers. A small child in blue stands on the right beside a stone railing. The scene shows the temple grounds as a tourist site rather than a ritual gathering.
