View from 'Arthur's seat', Kandy, Sri Lanka.

'Arthur's seat' gives a panoramic view of the Kandy lake, the Dalada Maligawa and the arrow-straight Trincomalee street. It is a good place to relax during the end of the day. I took this picture on the 7th June 2009.

I went to Kandy on Poson day. It was beautiful sunny weather. I took this picture of the Dalada Maligawa. You can see the golden roof ('Ran Viyana'), The 'Octagon ('Paththirippuwa') and the Queens'bath house standing on columns.

Nuwara-Eliya town, Sri Lanka.

Nuwara-Eliya, situated in the central highlands of Sri Lanka, was called 'The little England', during British Colonial times. It is very cold and has unpredictable weather. April and August are the months when it is reasonably comfortable to live in, for the majority of Sri Lankans. This is a photo of the Nuwara-Eliya town I took in February 2009.

Pahiyangala, Horana, Sri Lanka.

'Pahiyangala' has been identified as a prehistoric human cave dwelling, carbon dated at about 32,000 years before the present era. The name 'Pahiyan' has no relationship to 'Fa-Hsien' the famous Chinese traveler of the fifth century AD. It is easily approachable by road and a short climb.
