My recent travel to Sri Lanka allowed me to go around parts of the country. Of course, we had to do a tour of Colombo even before we set out to see the attractions beyond. One of my friends engaged a local who approached us as another friend was securing a simcard. We ended up with hopping into a tricycle (tuktuk) and doing a half-day tour of the city. Our first stop was Sri Subramaniya Kovil Hindu Temple.

| We parked not far from the temple and I took this second photo |

| One is awed by the details on the building and how well-preserved it is despite the years of use |
 |
| Up close to the temple, one is simply amazed or at awe about the details that from this angle seems to rise up to the skies. And did you notice the form of the clouds at the upper right of the photo? :) |
We didn't go inside the temple though we did take a peek from the main door. Our guide and one of the people inside were waving for us to go in but we respectfully declined. We though we might appear too touristy and might offend worshipers though they might be used to tourists having a look inside this sacred place.
