I could not work out whey the rocky lump behind the buddha does not look like the photos of the other site - but it was early in the morning after a late night. Thanks Dan, I enjoyed looking at all those big buddhas to find the right one... The next When on Google earth will be on my blog "portable antiquities and heritage matters" maybe tomorrow.

Its a rock fortress (the Lion Mountain) and associated features largely built during the reign of King Kassapa I (AD 477 – 495), and occupied previously and afterwards, though Google Earth does not really do it justice. http://whc.unesco.org/en/list/202 Amazing, have you been there?
