Photographer's Note
The height is 200m. It is not easy to climb at all, but once a palace was built on the top of this huge rock by the King Kasyapa.
This is " Sigiriya Rock ".
In 1875, Sigiriya Rock was discovered in the deep jungle. It was 1400 years later after the death of King Kasyapa who was called "Cruel parricides".

Nice picture. I think a bit more to the right might have centered the picture properly or a little crop from the left might have had the same effect.
Nicely framed though and good note.
