A look across the tea plantation, over thr reservoir on to the distant hills is what made me take this photograph.

Planter's bungalow built in 1826, Castelereigh, Dickoya, Sri Lanka.

This planters bungalow built in 1826, is now a guest house. It overlooks the Castelreigh Reservoir built in the 1950s to provide hydro-power. The surrounding tea fields are a beauty. Rooms cost Rs.2500/ per day and meals are extra. Lovely country walks and a peaceful environment are guaranteed. I went for a lunch and rest for one day and took this picture.
