@slowwalker,
I like the view of that mountain! But the most important thing is the stones at besides the gate of the temple! In Sri Lanka we called it as "Korawakgala", if you googled you can see most of them got the artwork of "Makara" aka "Dragon"! I think it has some kind of relationship with what you showed us here!
It's a great photography, ofcourse it's a great journey and a visit! I am really like this area, and yeah I also feel "Peace" while reading your article with those photography! Thank you!

Cheers~
