I was standing at Mini World’s end, a very picturesque natural drop at Horton Plains in the central highlands of Sri Lanka. The sheer beauty of this location was empowering, but the cynosure of all eyes was this green lizard that was basking in the sun at the cliff’s edge.
The lizard was very well camouflaged in the bushes, but that wasn’t enough to escape from the prying eyes of my friend who spotted it and showed it the entire group. Soon, I began changing from my wide angle lens to my telephoto to capture this beautiful creature in great lighting.
This lizard posed for a good 10 minutes before deciding to take care of some other business. I would certainly say that this green lizard was the highlight of my visit to Mini World’s End.
