Some pictures from Sigiriya, the site of an ancient palace, overlooking some of the oldest landscaped gardens in the world. February 2017

Wow, nice pictures. My reminiscences of the last visit came in to my mind and compels me to go there again.
Wow that picture of the mountains is simply breathtaking
Thank you! I unfortunately did not get to the range to hike, but the view from the distance was good enough ;)
Interesting looking place...seems like a fun hike.
What part of the world are you showing us? Srilanka?
Yes Mike, these first pictures are from a trip to Sri Lanka the past winter.
Thanks, big world out there..steemit opens up..
