EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the breathtaking beauty and engineering marvel of Kaduganawa Pass in the Western Province of Sri Lanka, circa 1908. The image showcases a rocky shelf, angled at an angle, serving as the foundation for a narrow, winding road that cuts through the mountain pass. The road appears to be carved into the rock face, with a tunnel visible in the distance, suggesting the passage of vehicles and travelers. Sri Lanka, then known as Ceylon, was a British colony during this period, and the construction of such infrastructure was a testament to the engineering prowess of the colonial administration. The pass, located in the central part of the country, connects the Kegalle and Rambukkana districts and offers stunning views of the surrounding hills and valleys. The photograph's composition draws the viewer's attention to the road and the sheer drop on one side, emphasizing the sense of adventure and danger that comes with traversing such terrain. The rocky outcroppings and lush greenery add to the sense of wildness and untamed beauty that is synonymous with Sri Lanka. This photograph is a reminder of the rich history and natural wonders of Sri Lanka, and the engineering feats that have allowed travelers to explore its diverse landscapes over the centuries. The image transports us to a time when the world was a little more mysterious and the journey was just as important as the destination.
