The Polonnaruwa Vatadage is an ancient structure dating back to the Polonnaruwa period of Sri Lanka. 
Built for the protection of a small stupa, the structure has two stone platforms decorated with elaborate stone carvings. The lower platform is entered through a single entrance facing the north, while the second platform can be accessed through four doorways facing the four cardinal points. The upper platform, surrounded by a brick wall, contains the stupa. Four Buddha statues are seated around it, each facing one of the entrances.
                                
 
                                
                                        My name is Inez Wijker and I am a passionate photographer.
My specialty is capturing a specific spontaneous moment in time. I call my photographs "magic moments",  because they are often made in a magical split second.
For me photography is a way to record everything I like or think is..
