View from the bridge at Karawanella.

The view from the bridge at Karawanella, Sri Lanka is a beautiful sight. Elephants are brought by their mahouts to this place at noon to be given a scrub-down and a bath. On a clear day Adam's peak is visible and on a clear night one can get a view of the lights along the pilgrims path to Adam's peak. I took this picture a few days back.

Inside the 'Dalada Maligawa'.

Old Court premises, Kandy.

Just behind the 'Audiance Hall' in the old Palace in Kandy is the old Court building. The Magistrate's Courts was held here for a long time till it was shifted out to the New Courts Complex on the new Gopallawa Mawathe, close to Getambe..

Cat-nap

On a cold sunny morning in Nawalapitiya, I saw this cat having a nap on a scooter parked outside a bakery. The scooter and cat appeared to belong to the owner of the bakery.
