Zoomed in, down a bit is a comparison of the old way and the new way.(A blogger friend said he was there in the early 1970s, I am eager to know if he took the old way)

Under the roof, quickly capture a photo- the clouds look like a world map and the blue is the ocean.

Some details – you can see how well they were painted. Each has a different emotion but the same thing is they all have great breasts!

Before turning into the Mirror Wall, take a last look over the old way stretching outside the wall and imagine there was an army marching on…

And looking back, now you can see the two stairways rolling between the cliff and the head of the Mirror Wall(though there was no sign of a mirror).

See? Walking along the Mirror Wall, still no mirror or they have painted it with yellow mud?Anyway, there was this guard to check your ticket…

In the distance, the solemn buddha and the moving tourists make you feel you are only the invisible sand in the universe.

Just make sure that it was me standing there looking afar, taking the photo and feeling the world under my feet.

Lion Staircase with two lion’s feet on each side. Now look at the whole rock, it looks exactly like a giant lion mounting the world.

A must to stand in the middle of the Lion Staircase and have my picture taken before going up to the top. 🙂

Just taking a quick photo to see how people built the staircase on such steep cliff. And there are plenty of prints left.
Again, thank you for appreciating! The last part: Sigiriya Part 3 – The Top is coming soon! Don’t go away! 😀
Amazing photos! You’ve really captured the sheer size and breathtaking awesomeness. So beautiful 🙂

All the scariness and breathtaking awesomeness of the ‘old way’ coming back in waves. Visiting in the 70s was an amazing experience. Glad that they have added a few more safety features. Great pics of an amazing place – thank you, Heather.
