I have not posted for several days as we had no WiFi in Anuradhapura and here in Habarana it has been pretty dodgy.. I will try to upload some photos.
The foyer of the Galle Face hotel, Colombo
An interesting notice about the hotel,
A bonus was a breakfast wedding reception complete with band.
Buddhist images in the temple
There are roadside stalls selling beautiful sweet pineapples for between 50 cents and $1.
Tree house used by farmers to watch for marauding elephants
Elephant in Wilpattu National Park
Fancy an elephant ride
Drystone walls of the Moat around the 5thC palace/fortress of Sigiriya built by king Kasayappa on top of a 200m rock.
Sigiriya I did not attempt the climb!
Massed elephants at Minneriya - about 200 elephants up close and personal.
Almost an elephant jam!
Only some male males have tusks.
Plenty of other wildlife such as spotted deer.
And wading birds.
Lizards
and mongoose
Might be a changeable hawk eagle anyway it looks menacing..
Looks like you've been doing some interesting things. Seeing all those elephants at once must have been amazing.
ReplyDeleteThe wildlife is amazing, you have taken some beautiful photos.
