The image shows the Gal Vihara rock temple in Polonnaruwa, Sri Lanka. It is an ancient site with several large Buddha statues carved into the face of a large granite boulder. There's a reclining Buddha statue and a standing Buddha statue. The site is covered by a large metal roof to protect the statues from the weather. A low brick wall surrounds the base of the statues with metal posts connected by rope. Trees are visible beyond the temple structure, and the sky is visible through the foliage.Morning visit captures ancient Buddha st
