Standing up alone
2019 Kandy, Sri Lanka
A small artificial island sits near the shore of Kandy Lake in Sri Lanka, ringed by a low wall and shaded by tall palm trees, with the wooded hills and rooftops of Kandy rising behind it. The lake was created in 1807 on the orders of Sri Wickrama Rajasinha, the last king of Kandy.
