Wobbly curves have formed over the centuries from the weight of those who have trekked over this old stone stairway.  Even the trees with their rugged roots have grown into the stones and thankfully so as the trees provide much needed shade for visitors. 

It is one of Laos' UNESCO World Heritage Sites called Vat Pu (often spelled as Wat Phu/Phou) in Champassak, Laos.  It's also home to one of the largest celebrations in the entire province as it plays host to a festival named in its honor each year.
