Colombo Day 2 Pictures for first post

Aol is finally working again but the pictures didn't go so I'm trying to send them again. 
 
 
4878 This is the Australia Buildings?  Only one building survives I guess.  Another research project, Australia in early Ceylon.  Not likely it was here when the name was Serendip.
4914 The monks leading students into the Ceylon Museum.  The lady in the blue baseball cap on the right is Jan, Pastor Al's wife.
4928 This is the surprising corner decor in the Gangarama Buddhist Temple.  As you can see the murals on the wall at the right are showing normal colors, including white.  For some reason that corner has a yellow hue.  I did see some sconces on the opposite wall but did not see any yellow light coming from them.
4955 This is the colorful ceramic with the coins on it.  Anyone know for sure who he is?  Looks like Ho Tai but he usually has his arms raised so you'll tickle his belly.  Notice the picture of the Queen and her Consort in the background.  This monk had eclectic tastes.
