Plain View

A lone red-colored tree stands amid a sea of lush greenery in Sri Lanka’s Horton Plains. Your Shot member Martin Bisof captured this image “from the train during our journey from Kandy to Haputale,” he writes. Horton Plains is located in Sri Lanka’s central highlands and was declared a national park in 1988. “[It] is a really amazing place for photography,” Bisof says. “I just stood … in the open train doorway and I couldn’t stop photographing.”
