Khmer dragon boat or "Angkor gondola" sent on January 14, 2026 (9:58) by Lorisb. 2 comments, 23 views.

at 200mm, 1/800 f/6.3, ISO 320, hand held. Angkor, Cambodia.

L'immagine mostra una tradizionale barca Khmer, spesso definita "gondola di Angkor" o barca drago, che naviga su un corso d'acqua attorno ad Angkor Thom. Queste barche offrono tour panoramici lungo i canali e i fossati intorno ai templi di Angkor Thom. I tour sono particolarmente popolari al tramonto, offrendo una prospettiva unica sui templi e sul paesaggio circostante. Chi ne ha l'occasione e tempo non si faccia scappare questa occasione.

I templi cambogiani sono costruiti al centro di laghetti artificiali (baray) non solo per bellezza estetica e come parte integrante dell'architettura sacra, ma anche per motivi simbolici e funzionali.

Rappresentano l'oceano cosmico che circonda il Monte Meru (la dimora degli dei), le acque hanno poteri curativi e rituali, e servivano per la gestione idrica e l'irrigazione nell'antica civiltà Khmer.

Questi enormi serbatoi non erano solo decorativi; erano fondamentali per l'agricoltura della complessa civiltà Khmer, immagazzinando acqua per l'irrigazione e controllando le inondazioni, dimostrando una profonda conoscenza idraulica.
