This is a scenery from the place called 'Unawatuna' in
the Southern beach.
This is the temple at 'Dambulla'. Temple is located on
this huge rock inside a cave.
This is a rare chance for one to see the elephant
crowd at 'Yala' elephant park. They are all ready to go
for the daily bath at the nearby river.
When they go to the river......
And when they are in the forest..
This animal locally known as 'Goona' is found typically in the
forests of Horton planes.
This is another view from the calm southern beach.
This is a temple at 'Polonnaruwa'.
This is the beautiful botanical garden at
'Peradeniya'.

Another photograph of Lord Buddha taken at the 'Temple
of Tooth' kandy.
Another picture taken at Kandy .
The beautiful 'Maa Oya' (River Maa) which is seen
along the Ambepussa - Polgahawela road. The warm clean
water and pure white sandy river edges are so welcoming
for a bath.
Another view of Maa oya.
Typical scenary along the Ambepussa - Kurunegala road.
The name plate on this small shop says 'Let's eat rice'
or in Sinhalese 'Bath kamu' indicating that this is a
rice shop. But we Sri Lankanas do not write the letters
verticaly. This is a little exception. The railroad is
running parallel to the bus road on the right side.
Typical green tropical forests along the roadside from
Polgahawela to Kurunegala. This place is called 'Kosgama'
meaning 'Village of Jak trees'. Nice area to stop by
while having the long drive from Colombo to Anuradhapura
to have a snack and to get some rest. It is said that
there are toilets inside this forest..!!!
Rice Paddy fields from Dambulla area. Gold in colour
and ready to harvest in few weeks. The Matale hill range
is seen behind.
Another one from Dambullu rice fields. But the harvest
is being collected and this field will be ready for the
next plantation in weeks. Behind is the Matale hill
range.
View inside a typical Sri Lankan greenforest. The
'monkey' on the tree is a very common display if one gets
a chance to go inside this kind of forest. These harmless
animals live in groups. Don't show your food items to
them in a place like this, since you have the chance of
loosing the container also.
A typical scene from the Central North Province which
is the home for some ancient cities like Anuradhapura and
Polonnaruwa.
Some
tropical fruits Annasi, Divul, Pera, Kesel,
Oranges..these are widely available in Sri Lanka.
A colourful market
Peacock feathers
Monkeys
Typical scene from the hill country.
I'll develop this page as and
when I get good photos for you. There are much more
places for you to see in my country. But be patient till
I have a chance to go with my camera.
