View at Haldumulla, Sri Lanka.

Coming down on the road from Haldumulla on the Haputale - Balangoda road I saw this play of sunlight on the hills and paused to take this picture.

Two views of 'Bopath Ella', Kuruwita, Sri Lanka.

 'Bopath Elle' - the waterfall which looks like the leaf of a Ficus reliogosa,is lovely to look at. It looks serene in these pictures. During the rainy season it can become a raging torrent. Quite a few lives have been lost by people who try to show off especially after liquor, at this site. Suicides also have taken place here.

Birds in a paddy field, Thalduwa, Sri Lanka.

A Great Egret and two bitterns on a paddy field close to Thalduwa.

Paddy field at Talduwa.

Egrets gather in large numbers to eat the worms turned up from the wet soil after ploughing. Note the reflections of the egrets in the water producing a 'mirror-image'. I took this picture 3 Kilometers from Talduwa on the Talduwa - Amithirigala road. This road is being developed as the main route to the Katunayake airport from Avissawella. It goes from Avissawella - Talduwa - Amithirigala - Hiswella - Nittambuwa - Katunayaka.
