About Nuwara Eliya
Nuwara Eliya sits at about 1,870 m, the highest town in Sri Lanka, and the British built it as a hill station to escape the heat. The colonial layout survives in the racecourse, the post office and the hedged gardens, and tea estates cover the slopes in every direction. Nights here are genuinely cold by Sri Lankan standards.

Clipped rows running over the contours, with pickers in colour against the green. Morning light before the cloud settles.
Open water with the hills behind and mist off the surface at first light.
Brick and half-timbered buildings, hedges and lawns. Overcast light suits them better than hard sun.
