EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in the 1910s, showcases the serene beauty of Kandy Lake in Ceylon (now Sri Lanka), located in the Central Province. The British colonial rule during this era left an indelible mark on the region, and this image offers a glimpse into the tranquility and charm of the area during that time. The reflection of the historic Temple of the Tooth, a sacred Buddhist site, can be seen in the calm waters of the lake. Surrounding the lake are lush trees and greenery, providing a picturesque backdrop to the scene. In the distance, the silhouettes of buildings and hills add depth and dimension to the landscape. The British influence is evident in the architecture of the structures along the lake's edge, with their red-tiled roofs and whitewashed walls. The colonial era brought about significant changes to the region, and this photograph offers a unique perspective into the intersection of cultures and history. The peaceful atmosphere of Kandy Lake, with its reflection of the Temple of the Tooth and the surrounding natural beauty, has remained a source of inspiration and wonder for visitors to this day. This photograph serves as a testament to the enduring allure of Ceylon's rich history and natural beauty.
