Panoramic view from Bandarawela, Sri Lanka.

I took this picture in the morning just outside Bandarawela on the road to Haputhale. The distant hills are shrouded in the early morning mist. Cocks crowing from the houses below made a surreal picture.

'For oft when on the couch I lie,

In vacant or in pensive mood,

They flash upon the inward eye,

Which is the bliss of solitude'. 

William Wordsworth
