A mansion in one of the provinces of Sri Lanka.

I came across this house designed by an architect, in one of the provinces of Sri Lanka. There was a nice garden and drive-way leading to the house.

Storm cloud with a silver lining, Nawalapitya, Sri Lanka.

Every cloud they say, 'has a silver lining'. I took this picture at Nawalapitiya, Sri Lanka, when a mild drizzle of rain was present. In Tamil they have a saying that when you see the sun during a rain, it portends a wedding for a fox. Click on the picture to see the full beauty of the scene..

Mother and child, Galboda, Sri Lanka.

I saw this mother and child in a group of monkeys, foraging for food by the roadside. This was on the Rathnapura - Wewalwaththe road in Sri Lanka. These young monkeys are caught by jugglers and clothed and trained, to do various antics like riding small bicycles. They thus bring a good collection to the jugglers, who travel from place to place.
