Illuminated garden.

I took this picture of an illuminated garden in a hotel at Kadawaththe, Sri Lanka.

Elephant orphanage, Udawalawe, Sri Lanka.

On the road connecting Embilipitiya to Thanamalvila is Udawalawe. Just before you cross the road over the Udawalawe dam is the elephant orphanage. 2pm is 'feeding time' for the orphaned elephants. They are released into the udawalawe sanctury after rehabilitation and come at feeding time to get their milk feed. They come eagerly to have their milk. Some protest that what they get is not enough by trumpeting after they have had their share. To watch a video of same click on link below:-

Paddy fields, Embilipitiya.

A field growing plantain trees and coconut trees around a paddy field at Embilipitiya, Sri Lanka. This area with its lush greenery produces paddy, vegetables and fruits in plenty and is a veritable 'bread-basket' of present Sri Lanka.
