"The Audience Hall, Kandy, Sri Lanka.

The 'Audience Hall' of the last Kings of the Kandyan Kingdom, is situated just behind the Temple of the Tooth, Kandy. It is a beautiful building built in the Kandyan Architectural tradition. The space inside is open and airy. A few years back the Supreme court sessions were held there.

A garden Lizard preparing a nest for its eggs, Avissawella, Sri Lanka.

The female garden lizard selects a spot warmed by the sun, digs the soil and lays its eggs. It covers up the soil and goes away. The soft rubbery eggs hatch and the tiny lizards emerge and fend for themselves.
