Photographer’s Note
THis shot was taken while walking through this for buddhist very well known place. We had the chance to visit the 'Temple of the Tooth' just at the right time for having a look at the famous tooth. In fact you can't really this it because of the several(8) "gold bells" above to protect it. But knew we were lucky to have these few admiration seconds.
Some short description in french follows:
Vieux de 300 ans, le Temple de la Dent (Dalada Maligawa) abrite la plus importante relique du Sri Lanka. On dit que la dent sacrée de Bouddha a été rescapée de son bûcher funéraire en 543 avant notre ère, amenée au Sri Lanka 100 ans plus tard, puis transportée d'un endroit à l'autre avant d'aboutir à Kandy

Nice simetry you´ve got... there´s a minor point, a brilliant object at the bottom left corner... it distracts a little, why don´t you remove it?
Cheers, and thanks,

Sympa...on essaie d'imaginer les cérémonies qui ont pu avoir lieu dans ce temple...
