The Kelaniya Temple is the holiest place in Colombo. And this enormous “Sleeping Buddha” is the most spectacular feature of that temple. I used a wideangle lens to move in on the upper portion of the statue. I include part of the transparent curtain that partially hangs before the figure. The rhythmic folds of that curtain offers a strong contrast to the flowing horizontal lines of the statue, as well as the vividly colored bands that are arrayed behind it. This image offers an adventure in spectacular color – the massive gilded figure draws the eye, it’s golden hues symbolizing the honor and reverence that pervades this temple.
