Kuttam-pokuna 1896

"Kuttam-pokuna" is a black and white photograph by Henry William Cave, taken in 1896. The image shows a dense, lush forest with a path leading into the foliage. The composition is characterized by the contrast between the dark shadows of the trees and the bright light that filters through the canopy. This photograph exemplifies Cave's interest in capturing the natural beauty of Sri Lanka, where he spent many years as a photographer and naturalist.
