This photo was taken inside Sigiriya Rock, also known as the Lion’s Rock, in Sri Lanka. This place is SERIOUSLY COOL, and absolutely worth the visit. It does, however, require a fair bit of walking and stair climbing, so just be prepared. Inside the rock there are these amazing paintings, which you can see on the sidewalls as tourist brush by taking pictures. It gets a little crowded in there, but really you are all there to see the same thing so for the most part people are really polite about letting you get your pictures. The rock is cool on the outside too, it has two massive lions paws carved out of it and in the center there is a stairway that you can ascend and from the top you have an absolutely magnificent view. Totally worth going to look at, I highly recommend it! (I have other pictures of it, I just really like this one because it shows the whole wall, and all the other travelers passing by)

wow! truly unique!
It certainly is an amazing site! The art is fantastic, and even though there isn’t a ton of painting left inside, the ones that are still there are wonderfully preserved!
