Sigiriya, Sri Lanka .... Photos |
|||
 |
Sigiriya Rock in Sri Lanka rises 600 feet above the surrounding plain. Can you see why it is called the lion rock? To me it looks a bit like a lion's head rising above the plain. Perhaps that is why the entrance to the palace was through a lion's mouth flanked by huge lion claws! |

From the top of the rock you can see the water gardens that surrounded the palace fortress. |

The remains of the palace on top of the rock and the view over the surrounding plain. There is still a lot of research to be done in the area. |
