Description
We were driving though the tea plantations in Sri Lanka and came across a tiny little temple in the middle of nowhere and this gentleman was just sitting there. Being me, I told the driver to stop the car, jumped out and asked if he minded me taking his photo. He kindly obliged and even though he was very pleasant, did not feel the need to smile. This came later when I gave him some rupees for his trouble!!
Thank you all so much for your kind comments on my last upload and have a great Wednesday.
Hugs
