Sri Lanka – eclipse and world’s end
Just returned from another trip to Sri Lanka – and although I only had a few photos of an outstanding sunset at Bentota beach and some 
amazing shadows transformed by a solar eclipse into trendy designer patterns, I also took the opportunity to belatedly upload a set from last September when Sanjiva organized a hike up from the southern lowlands to World’s End and Horton Plains. 
Supposedly World’s End sports the most dramatic view (and lover’s leap) in Sri Lanka, and the surrounding Horton Plains contain a unique ecosystem.
We didn’t make it quite to the top, but did experience some steep climbing, amazing views and a Dr. Suess inspired landscape,
followed by a long winding return to civilization through an unbelievably steep tea plantation.
The photos don’t do justice to the experience, but here they are anyway!

I loved all your photos, but your eclipse shadows reminded me of my trip to Baja to watch the solar eclipse back in 1991. I was just as intrigued by the peculiar shadows, and I probably spent as much time looking down as I did looking up! I also remember animals and insects behaving strangely, like they were preparing for nightfall even though it was nearly noon. Perhaps that was just my interpretation, but it was definitely a mind-blowing experience.
