Ambalama - Godamunne, Sri Lanka

Ambalama's are old buildings that were setup as wayside rests to be used by travels and can be found throughout the country. The ambalama in Godamunne is said to have been built using pillars from the Hanguranketha Palace which was destroyed by the  Dutch in the 17th century. The pillars themselves have ornate carvings on them but they have been damaged over time. 

Jama Masjid - New Delhi, India

The Jama Masjid, built by Shah Jenhand between 1650 and 1656, is one of the largest mosques in India. The mosque can accommodate around 25,000 worshippers and is still in use today. We visited on a rainy morning and I'm sure that reduced the number of tourists at the site making it a bit easier to photograph. The bazars of Old Delhi are to the left of this frame and definitely worth exploring.
