Tourists and souvenir vendors walk by face tower doorway of outer gate at Angkor

Tourists and souvenir vendors walk towards the face tower doorway of an outer gate at Angkor. The scene may be from the city site of Angkor Thom, or perhaps from nearby Ta Prohm. Both sites were built by the Buddhist Jayavarman VII and include towers with four serenely smiling faces facing towards the cardinal directions. The upper part of this tower is quite eroded.
