Pinnewala Elephant Orphanage

A sanctuary for elephants affected by fighting in Sri Lanka. Take a close look and you will see many who have lost ears, a few missing eyes, and even one elephant who had stepped on a landmine and is now surviving with only three legs. It looks as if I got really close to the action, and I did, what is hidden are the two restaurants with four floors of viewing patios behind, but still an awesome afternoon.
