Places That Inspire - The Elephant Terrace

I recently realized that I've used a certain setting in three of my books, and yet I've never written a post about it. The place is the Terrace of Elephants in Angkor Thom, the huge royal city complex near Angkor Wat in Cambodia. It appears, however briefly and in different time periods, in Journey to Angkor, The Naga’s Treasure and my latest work in progress, “Letting Go.” Terrace of the Elephants The terrace is a standard stop on tours of the main Angkor archaeological complex, and it is an impressive sight in its own right: A thick stone wall about three meters high and more than 100 meters long, with almost every inch of its face carved with scenes of triumphal marches of soldiers and elephants.
