Each morning in the Siem Reap province of Cambodia, hundreds gather around the shores of Angkor Wat in hopes of witnessing one of the most astounding sunrises cascading across the ancient temple grounds.

Though one can shell out a considerable amount of dollars (not to mention the boat loads of discipline required to wake up before the sun) in order to attend this event, patrons are not always guaranteed the same awe-inspiring view. As seen here, we didn't really get the "miraculous" sun rise view due to the overcast clouds in the background. However, the view was still astounding, none the less!
