Adam's Peak seen from Lellopitiya, Sri Lanka.

I took these two pictures from the 'Sun Ray Inn' at Lellopitiya on the road from Rathnapura to Pelmadulla. The first picture shows the horizon outlining the distant hills. The second one shows a close up of Adam's Peak - 'Samanala Kanda' S, 'Sivanoli Paada Malai' T. You can see the temple at the peak. You can also see the outline of the 'Baana Samanalakanda' S - the nephew of Samanala Kanda, in front of it.
