EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph transports us back in time to the 19th century, capturing the Nanu Oya Pass in Sri Lanka. The image showcases both the road and railway line that wind their way through this picturesque landscape, leading towards Nuwara Eliya. The composition of the photo is truly remarkable, with its attention to detail and depth of field. It allows us to appreciate the stunning natural beauty of Ceylon (now known as Sri Lanka) during a bygone era. The misty mountains in the background create a sense of mystery and allure, while the winding road and railway line add a touch of human presence amidst nature's grandeur. This photograph was taken by an English photographer whose name remains unknown but has left behind a timeless piece of art. It is now part of a private collection, cherished for its historical significance. The image was originally featured as an illustration for "The Hundred Best Views of Ceylon" published around 1900. Its inclusion in this publication speaks volumes about its visual impact and importance within Sri Lankan culture. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing scene captured on film over a century ago, we are reminded not only of our connection to history but also how photography can transport us across time and space.
