St.Clair's waterfall, Thalawakelle, Sri Lanka





This waterfall is downstream from the Upper Kothmale dam. Water is released from the sluice gates of the dam on and off, to keep the waterfall going.

Roads leading to the Castlereigh Dam, Sri Lanka.

The Castlereigh Dam was one of the first post-Independence Hydro power projects put into operation by the newly independent Ceylon. It is set in very picturesque country. Tea is the main crop here. I took this picture during a sunny interval on a drizzly day.
