Lens-Artists Photo Challenge #222 – Mountains Are Calling

I live in a country with no real mountains, I have seen few on my travels. Here are some photos I have taken. I have linked this post to Amy’s post #Lens-Artists Photo Challenge #222 – Mountains Are Calling

These first are from Vancouver – the beautiful Canadian Gulf Islands and View of Mt. Rainier from ferry coming from Victoria Island.

The second set is from Whistles mountain Whistler is located in the southern Pacific Ranges of the Coast Mountains,

Huge mountains, rugged foothills, deep canyons, vast caverns, and the world’s largest trees exemplify the diversity of landscapes, life, and beauty here. Sierra Nevada mountain range – Sequoia!

We visited Kandy, Sri Lanka and on the way we saw beautiful tea plantations, and visited one of them . We got a the tour with detailed explanations about Black tea manufacturing process.
At the end of the tour we were offered free cup of tea and cake. Purchasing of tea at the end for gifts. Learned a lot about different tea qualities, not that I remember too much about it anymore 🙂

One of my memorable experiences was in Mirissa, Sri Lanka. We went whale watching and were so lucky to be able to see at two blue whales, the one below one was the best, very rare – this one swam underneath our boat. The captain told everyone to shut up when he spotted it or he would throw the one who spoke overboard. Only if you keep quiet the blue whale might approach you – you can’t chase them. We were lucky and this magnificent animal visited us.

Negombo Beach

I have very fond memories of our visit to Negombo in Sri Lanka. This was taken on the beach in front of our hotel. During the day the sand was so hot, but in the evening so nice and warm under your feet.
