Morning sky over Kandy |

I had to chase this monkey away since i didn't want to share my breakfast with him. He was quite reluctant but eventually left.

A turtle in the lake |
A fairly large monitor lizard sleeping on the embankment of the lake that is in the middle of Kandy.
The amount of wildlife in Sri Lanka never ceased to amaze me.
I did not get any better shots of this animal, because i was scared to get closer - as it is i was only about 2 M away from it in the first place, and i would guess that it was appr. 2 M in length from its nose to the tip of the tail. I am sure it could have hurt me if it wanted to.
But i guess it needed that nap, because i went on to my hotel for lunch, and when i was on my way into the centre again, three quarters of an hour later, it was still there...
