A weathered stone temple wall at Beng Mealea, Cambodia, with a large tree growing from its top. Thick aerial roots and vines wrap down the carved masonry, and the lattice-like stone windows with turned balusters are partly intact. Green foliage and bright sky fill the upper frame, and mossy stone steps lie at the base. No people are visible in the scene.
