This is a shot of Skiddaw mountain in the north of the Lake District, England. It is the sixth highest mountain in England. I captured this shot after a climb up to the top of Blencathra, a fell to the south-east of Skiddaw. This view also affords views of the Solway Coast and Scotland, in the top right of the photo.
This was the view over Helvellyn's Striding Edge in the UK Lake District on an overcast and at time foggy day. I was glad to capture the ribbon shape of Ullswater in the top centre left of the photo.

Bathalegala Mountain - Batalegala or Bible Rock in English, is a mountain near Aranayake in Kegalle District in central Sri Lanka. It is known as the "Bible rock". Due to its prominent flat top surface, it resembles the more famous Sigiriya citadel located more north of it.
Captain Dawson Tower
During the British colonial times in Sri Lanka there were no easy road to access the Kingdom of Kandy. The old road from Colombo to Kandy was a very long one, which was via Kelani Valley, Ruwanwella, and Gampola. Governor Edward Barnes wanted to build a shorter road to Kandy and assigned the task to Captain William Francis Dawson in 1820. Captain Dawson planned the project and started work immediately. However, he had to face the difficulties of sudden climatic changes in the central hills, and the hazards of cutting through the thick jungle. Captain Dawson finally fell badly sick. Nine years after the commencement of Colombo-Kandy road project, he succumbed to his sickness on 29th March 1829, while the road work was still not complete.
When the road was finally built to Kandy, the friends and admirers of Captain Dawson erected this tower in 1832 in memory of him, at the highest point of the Kadugannawa pass. Anyone traveling along the Colombo-Kandy highway today can see, and visit this tower.
Kadugannawa Old Rock Tunnel
The engineers who built this road had to face great challenge in making it through the Kadugannawa pass. They had to drill a tunnel through a huge granite rock without all the machinery and technology that today's road engineers have. The tunnel of Kadugannawa is a historical monument today. The new highway goes over and around it. You reach this tunnel when you walk further downhill along the Kandy-Colombo highway from Captain Dawson Tower. If you look at the bottom left-hand corner of the map above, Kadugannawa tunnel is at the elbow-turn of the road.
