Some scenery of Hatton and Dickoya

Travelled to Dickoya early this week. Here are a few pictures (click on the picture to get the high quality image).


The entry to Hatton



Late morning sun



Christ Church, Warleigh. The little stone churches in the hill country make such pretty pictures



Castlereigh Reservoir



The Castlereigh reservior, from further up the hill



Misty mountain



Mist, mountain and road



Tree clad hills..



...and winding roads




This is a picture of Queen Victoria's statue, at the back of the Colombo Museum. Took it last year and meant to write something suitably Victorian. Found it in my phone with the others so uploaded it anyway.

Thanks for the comments.

Angel, there are a few statues around but not many. I heard that the Garrison Cemetery in Kandy is to removed-apparently because it is at a higher elevation than the temple of the tooth??

Its supposed to be very pretty, try and see it before its destroyed:
