On the 'Uda-walawe' reservoir bund.

I took this picture on the highway going over the 'Uda-walawe' reservoir earth bund. You can see the electrified fence which keeps the elephants away from the road. The 'Uda-walawe' nature reserve is on the other side of the fence and has quite a few elephants.

View over the 'Udawalawe reservoir'

The view of the distant mist shrouded hills seen from the 'Uda-walawe tank bund' is a peaceful sight. I took this picture in June 2010.

Elephant rehabilitation centre, Uda-Walawe, Sri Lanka

Orphaned young elephants, found abandoned by the herd, in Sri Lanka, are brought to this sanctuary at Uda-walawe. They are fed and looked after. They are then gradually integrated into a herd of wild elephants at the Uda Walawe sanctuary close by and are again sent into the wild. You see in the picture a young elephant being fed milk through a plastic hose.
