Adam Adams Ceylon Hills Lanka Path Peak Winding
EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, captured circa 1910, showcases the breathtaking view of Adams Peak (Sri Pada, Sri Paadaya) from Maskeliya in the Central Province of Ceylon (now Sri Lanka), during the British colonial era. The image transports us back in time, offering a glimpse into the rural beauty and serenity of the region. Adams Peak, a holy mountain revered by various religions, stands majestically in the distance, its distinctive conical shape shrouded in mist and mystery. The winding path leading to its summit, a pilgrimage site for thousands of devotees, can be seen snaking up the hillside. The stone bridge in the foreground adds a touch of charm to the scene, as it spans the tranquil waters of a rural stream. The Central Province of Ceylon, with its rolling hills and picturesque countryside, was a popular destination for British colonials seeking respite from the hustle and bustle of urban life. The peaceful scenery, unspoiled by modern development, is a stark contrast to the bustling colonial towns and cities. The bridge, with its sturdy stone construction, serves as a reminder of the British infrastructure that was established during their rule. Yet, despite the presence of the colonizers, the natural beauty of the region remains undisturbed, offering a sense of tranquility and wonder that continues to captivate visitors to this day.
