OLYMPUS E-PM1 Exposure Time: 1/400 sec ISO-200 Focal Length: 45 mm Thissamaharama is situated in the Southern province of Sri Lanka. Most of the people in those areas practise chena cultivation as their major income. But those cultivated lands are destroyed by the elephants and wild boars as the density of animals in this region is very high. So, the farmers make these kind of huts on trees and protect their cultivation through out the night for months.
