Pine Forest

Pine Forest On the way to Lanka Ella.

Look...Its an Elephant!!!

So for all those who doesn't know who this big animal is...Its an Elephant. I have heard that some people from USA has never seen one. :-D Well, They are here in Sri Lanka. Wanna see? Come visit. U can go on an elephant ride too. (On its back..U knw...Like a horse)

So I guess I should tell about this more. Asian Elephant (Elephas maximus maximus) is one of the few remaining mega-herbivores (Herbivores are animals that are adapted to eat plants) in the world. The Sri Lanka elephant population about 2,500 - 3,000 Elephants and about 7% of world population. There is an Elephant Orphanage in Pinnawala and its a unique place in entire world where abandoned and disable Elephants get lot of care and protection. This place is one of the world's best Elephant breeding centers as well. (sources)

I have more pics and tell me if you want to see them, I can post them. Enjoy!

I added a Poll....U can vote for the best pic out of four I picked..... ;)

Angle....

      Here I am again with something nice..as i see. well, someone asked me how I take these photos. well...Its just the angle i take. normal exposure in macro mode. no flash. I first look at whatever u want to capture in every angle i can think of. Then I use my camera to get the correct focus. As you can see, in this one middle has the focus, surrounding area is blurred.I love that effect. Its not an effect which I captured using any build in software in my cam, its just the way I focused. And I know I have a damn good eye for these kinda things even though I use glasses (Not all the time).

A waterfall spotted on the way home

This is St.Clair's Waterfall. Not that high but beautiful. Its close to the main road(Avissawella to Nuwara-Eliya).The hill country is full of this type of small waterfalls.This is not a closeup so its not such a beautiful scenery. Isn't it?

White Fall between Rocks!

I took this picture when our School Bus stopped for a break. This waterfall is called Devon waterfall.

The Green Mountains...

As the name suggests these are mountains from hill country. Beautiful, Green, Fresh Air, Home to may animals. Although the name is not green mountain;I don't know the name anyway.

Clouds In The Evening....

Same place as previous picture taken. but this time I focused @ the sky. Its about to rain thats why clouds are gray colored. Well I don't know what to write here regarding this one. :)
