? Tickell's blue fly-catcher.

I saw this bird a bit outstanding because of its blue color in the surrounding green foliage. I took this picture on my Fuji Finepix S1500 with a zoom of X12 - hand held shot around 1pm. at Kosgama, Sri Lanka.

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..
