Panorama of East


This exquisite panorama was captured at Buddhangala near Ampara. I have seldom seen a view so vast yet so clear.

Please click the image to enlarge it. More similar views from the same venue are uploaded here.

  15. What a beautiful panorama! I think I would want to stay there. I really like the picture in your slide show with the mountain tops above the mist.

  16. Steven D!,
    Greetings from Sri Lanka!, Yep that was a never ending view..

    Michelle,
    That big white thing in one picture does look like a bell! It is called a Chethiya, stupa or Dagobo and it is a sacred place of worship found in any Buddhist temple. This particular dagabo is made like a bell! You can find more details of Sri Lankan dagabos in this post by Harumi.

    Rainfield,
    Yes I did not attach the original picture which is about 4MB; still this resized image shows a lot of details.

    Harumi,
    I would be able to give some details about Thanthirimale soon. Yes, the view is very similar to Thanthirimale.

    Chavie,
    The fields look very nice from there. I particularly like this picture with fields + ‘wewa’

    James,
    It is a beautiful area, but this particular place lies about 250km away from where I live :)

    Clo,
    Yep the horizon look infinite…:)

    Álvaro,
    Yep that was taken in the hillcountry and completely different climate and geography.

    Pierre,
    Yep I could not do a bike trip there but as you said it would be a very good ride. In fact I wanted to go there, after seeing one of your posts on the same place some time back :)

    Betsy,
    Yep, it is a fascinating view from there. You really get that wow feeling :)

    Sunny,
    Yep, it is miles and miles of never ending view :)

    NicoleB,
    The country is not that big..I would say medium size island! But there are many places like this where you can see a good half of the entire country :)

    Betchai,
    Definitely you can do panorama pictures here. I must learn that sometime :)

    Gallicissa,
    You will love the view and this peaceful surrounding for sure!

    George,
    Yep, I too like that picture. I shall bring you more photos of this area soon!

    Thanks all for your wonderful comments!
