  6. Hi KP, I was missing you. Thank you for the beautiful photo. I am learning about shading the tea plantations and perhaps these trees are good candidates.
    I will be visiting some trees and caves late summer this year (Kings Canyon) which is home to some of the largest trees in the world.
    At the moment I an bed ridden and studying :) after an Snow boarding accident. I usually heal fast!
    Thanks again

    I may have left many comments as Google kept on tripping, forgive me if so

  10. Rain Drops,
    This is actually right opposite side of Hunnasgiriya of Knuckles, but climate and vegetation almost the same. Nothing like ‘spending the night in a tent in middle of no where’ :)

    Betsy,
    I moved to my new house recently, which I was building for the last 1.5 years. So last few weeks I had to do lot of minor work before moving in and didn’t have time to do my normal trips. Anyway now all are back to normal :)

    Hi Diordana,
    Snow board accident - When did that happen? Wish you a speedy recovery.
    Those trees must be redwoods right? Yes, shading the tea plantation is important and there are special types of trees like Gliricidia that fit to this purpose well

    Rainfield,
    Yes, good to be back on my usual tracks :)

    Betchai,
    I will surely do more posts from month of May onwards :)

    Thanks all for your wonderful comments!

  24. Hi Amaris,
    Great to hear that you like this picture. Yes, the area is one of my favourite too. It never seizes to surprise you whenever you travel through this area. Sometimes this area get covered with mist in a flash like this.
    Thanks very much for your comments :)
