Balangoda Group seen from the road to Bogawanthalawa, Sri Lanka.


I took this photo at an elevation of more than 4000 feet above sea level, on the road to Bogawanthalawa. It was a misty and cold day. I used  the 10 zoom and a uv filter on my digital camera.

the 'Gharandhi ella' on the Balangoda - Bogawanthalawa road.


Picture taken on 16/10/2009. The water fall named after its appearance to a 'rat-snake', is seen flowing down a high misty mountain, on the Balangoda - Bogawanthalawa road. It is a hilly road which takes one over 5000feet above sea level to descend to the beautiful Bogawanthalawa valley. The trip takes about one and a half hours.
