Sunrise greeting at the first grand temple of the Khmer Empire

Mornings are the most pleasant time to visit Bakong Temple. The large stone temple gets very hot later in the day.
Bakong was the first mountain type of temple architecture design in the Khmer imperial era. It served as a state temple for king Indravarman I, in the first dedicated Khmer imperial capital at Hariharalaya.
Today this is the Roluos Group of temples east of Siem Reap City, Cambodia. Other well-known temples here is Preah Koh and Lolei.

Large Hindu influence
The temple was dedicated to Shiva, and its main consecrated image was a lingam called Sri Indresvara. This step pyramid mountain temple draws inspiration from other large Hindu temples in the region built around the same time. Most notably the fantastic Borobudur temple in Java, outside Yogyakarta.
Bakong temple was the last large construction in Hariharalaya. Indravarman’s son and heir Yasovarman I moved the capital to Phnom Bakheng in the early 900s. Bakheng Hill is just south of what we today call Angkor Thom, the big (capital) city.

For those interested in comparative historical timeline, this temple was finished as a state temple in 881CE. In Norway, the first unification of the kingdom under one superior king established the first larger Nordic kingdom.

Photo shows two young novice Buddhist monks in deep orange robes on top of a temple structure looking out to a landscape covered in deep, thick green forest. In front of the then, they can look down on a temple tower in early Khmer imperial style in good condition. To their right, an equal tall temple tower on the same level as the first are in clearly less renovated. Darker areas, worn down details and more hidden reliefs gives the impression of how this must have looked when Bakong temple was rediscovered. It is a sunny morning, with clear blue sky. Cambodia is as safe, comfortable and kind as ever. Angkor and Siem Reap welcomes visitors. Enjoy your visit to the Kingdom of Wonder.

Turns out that my previous #SamsungNote9 had a software bug which led to the battery simply falling to being empty within 2min or so when it had hit the 30% threshold. #Android10

Only now realizing it because I installed #LineageOS20 on it and its still working with <30%. #Android13

The streets of Hoi An old town is a World Cultural Heritage site. The narrow streets, roads and alleys mixed with channels and river waterways represent a typical Asian trading port between 1500-1900 CE.

As a trading port, this city in the old Champa Kingdom is filled with the cultural mix of architecture, arts and artefacts so typical for trade and human interconnections.

-No holepunch or notch screen
-rear fingerprint reader
-stylus
-bixby button I can remap via root to have extra functions like toggling mute or toggling my flashlight

I have a #Samsung #Note9 and I'm sad that #support ended for it in August. It has 512gb of storage and still runs great. It isn't #5g, but that's okay. Looking for a #phone that won't break the bank. #Android lover.
