Asian Sunday: Sigiriya, Sri Lanka

in #photography5 years ago

Sigiriya is one of the few places in Sri Lanka that are overcrowded with tourists, despite the hefty entrance fee. I went early in the morning and had about two hours to climb the rock and enjoy the stunning view from the top of the rock with relatively few people around. On the way down, I passed by hundreds of tourists.

I captured this photo with my Nikon D5500* and a Nikon DX 10-20 mm f/4.5-5.6* lens.

I was in Sigiriya. Lovely place. Especially stunning is its view on photos made from above.Sigiriya-3.jpg

I walked around in the ruins at the top, really awesome, I posted a photo from there a few months ago: https://steempeak.com/photography/@jpphotography/asian-sunday-morning-lights-at-sigiriya-rock-sri-lanka

Wow that place is totally insane it is great I wish! I have some free time to go there!

Very stunning and beautiful. It seems like a great place to relax and reflect.

Certainly, before masses of tourists arrive that is ;)
