Die Arda zeichnet beim Kardzhali-Damm ein perfektes Flussband in die Landschaft, als hätte jemand den Lauf des Flusses mit einem Pinsel gezogen. Der Bogen entstand durch die natürliche Topografie und wurde später durch die Aufstauung noch betont.

Kardzhali Dam
hier staut sich der Fluss Arda zu einem breiten See, der Stausee in den 1960er-Jahren zur Energieversorgung und Bewässerung der Region entstand.

That soft colourful sunrise over West Baray

Baray Teuk Thla/បារាយណ៍ទឹកថ្លា is the largest manmade water reservoir in Siem Reap, made during the Angkor Khmer empire.

This baray measures 2,1 x 7,8 kilometers and are secured by 12 meter tall earthen dikes. At maximum filling it contains 53 million m³ / 53 billion liters of water.

Almost a thousand years after being built, it is still one of the largest manmade water reservoirs on earth.

This photo is taken from the site of Prasat Ak Yum, អកយំ. It is a very ancient temple in the larger Angkor Archeological area. It is situated west on the south bank of West Baray. Parts of the temple area are covered by and probably got partly destroyed by the building of the giant water reservoir in the late 1000s CE.

Ak Yum temple is considered the oldest surviving example of a temple mountain in Southeast Asia, dating back to 674 CE. There are some speculations that Ak Yum was part of the last capital city before the Khmer Empire was established, the lost city of Banteau Choeu. This city was built as part of the transition to Khmer Empire from the Chenla Kingdom originally centered around Sambo Prey Kouk near Kampong Thom today.
