While walking through the main structure at Angkor Wat in Cambodia, I came upon this great set of receding doorways. I enjoy the feeling I get while looking through so many portals, one behind the other (but also visually inside the other): the doorways just seem to pull me in. In this case, the shadows and light add to the atmosphere and help create more depth. The distant light and shadowy figure create a final destination for the eye as well as a bit of mystery: to where does this path lead, and what is that on the other end? I took a different route around the palace and didn't walk through these doorways, but I believe the shadowy figure is (or was) a person; however, I don't know for sure. You can use your imagination as you enter into the photograph.
