Ta Prohm Temple and the Tree War

This temple dramatically shows the war between the 1200 year old temples and the strangling fig trees that have to be consantly cut back. Almost every guide book on the temples has one classic picture of the head of a Buddha with the roots of a tree surrounding the head. It's a photo all the photogrphers hope to catch. Unfortunately, those roots were trimmed several months ago and it may take a few decades for them to grow back.
