As I have mentioned in an earlier post, Kandalama is teeming with life yet so serene and Sri Lankan. I don't want to over emphasize its beauty with too many words as this might sound like a travel blog when it is not. This is still about homeschooling and it is a field trip, you see =). Let me share with you some photos we have taken - well, you have seen many of them early in this series. I still have more to share and will post it in two parts. A place is so beautiful and captivating, a place called Kandalama.
A lotus.
A structure built to blend in the rocks of a mountain wall. Reminds me of Helms Deep but not quite.
Bird friendly lobby gets a nest from one of the resident bulbuls. This a back of a wrought iron bench.
Architect Geoffrey Bawa has designed this building to blend well with the mountain and the wild growth of trees and vines
Reminds me of the Hanging Gardens of Babylon but this is just a fraction, i know but even then, it is still breath taking!
Do you know that wildlife like monkeys, lizards and exotic birds live in these entangled vines as guests live just inside the walls and windows of this hotel?
I really enjoyed your pictures! It makes me want to go to Sri Lanka..haha! Ang galing mo pati kumuha ng mga shots mo para ka ng pro! Ako.. I think I just started learning how to take better pictures. Been taking pictures all my life pero before basta maka kodak ayos na..haha! I don't think about angles etc.. I am learning by looking at these photo blogs. Too many blogs to read, too little time.. sigh!
Widget shows recent, but not chronological, entries. Some are dated months or a year back. I didn't have time to blog it then. This blog is a journal for our family and it gets updated when I can. But it is great too if you find anything helpful for your own homeschool journey.
