What do you think? How much could the pics speak to you?
I like you pictures a lot, they are so colorful! Sad to remember the tsunami that devastated those areas, but good that they had support also from other countries.
These are beautiful pictures,every single one of them. I like the one of the bats, plus the man walking the trees. The one that really stands out and I find amazing is the one of the elephant behind you! Great capture!
I enjoy looking at the photos. I have an experience also with a Giant Buddha. That is when we visited Lantau Island in Hongkong. We also visited Chi Lin Nunnery where we saw Buddhist Temples. It is really great to travel! And by just looking at your photos makes me feel I already travelled to Sri Lanka.
Looks like a natural and a cultural beauty. It really reveals the colorful countryside. I hope to visit this one day. It looks like the place to unwind and reconnect with the spirit!
It is refreshing to see pics of the true Sri Lanka. I have seen other pics which showed the modern places of Sri Lanka. They were good but I did not get to feel the culture of Sri Lanka. I like the picture of Galle Fort the most.
If I were just to observe the photos, I could say that it might as well have been a part of India. Obviously, I am not so good with geography, but the photos tell me that Sri Lanka and Indian culture is intertwined. Is that no so?
I envy you for travelling to places that are just so adorable. I wish someday i could travel to these places too. Your photos were all amazing! And i appreciate the beauty and culture of Sri Lanka!
The ocean is practically begging me to visit. 🙂 Great structures too! Never realized Sri Lanka had tourist spots like the one you visited. Great shots for a beginner!
Stunning pics. I have to get there some day! That flower is cannon ball flower and has a very sweet fragrance. The man on the rope awed me! How do they manage to do it?
Your eyes have witnessed the best spot for you have captured all these photos so beautiful. The narration of every photo appears to be very genuine as I see them. I like how you put them all together. I wish I owned that kind of eyes like yours very artistic.
It is said that a picture is more than a thousand words. The pictures of Lanka bring out vividly the natural beauty of the Island as well as it colourful and vibrant culture. The serenity of Buddhism as viewed through the pictures of the temples comes across too in full spendour.
Beautiful pictures! I can tell that Sri Lanka is a country of rich culture by just looking at those statues. I can also see breath-taking places there. I wish I could visit it soon!
