EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Sensation Rock, Sri Lanka" takes us back to the late 19th century. Captured by an English photographer, this image showcases a steep precipice on the railway between Colombo and Kandy in Sri Lanka. The photograph is part of a private collection and is now out of copyright. The scene depicted in this picture transports us to a time when the British Raj was at its peak, showcasing the grandeur of their empire. The Ceylon Government Railway played a crucial role in connecting different parts of the island nation, and this particular section known as Kadugannawa Incline was both awe-inspiring and treacherous. As we gaze upon this historical snapshot, we can almost hear the sound of steam engines chugging along these tracks. The sensation rock stands tall against the backdrop of lush greenery, reminding us of nature's power juxtaposed with human engineering marvels. This photograph not only captures a moment frozen in time but also serves as a testament to transportation advancements during that era. It offers us a glimpse into how people traveled across Ceylon (now Sri Lanka) amidst breathtaking landscapes. With its impeccable composition and timeless charm, this photograph from Bridgeman Images allows us to appreciate both the beauty of nature and mankind's ability to conquer even the most challenging terrains for progress.
