Don’t look down.
The Ruwanwelisaya is a Buddhist shrine in the ancient city of Anuradhapura, in north-central Sri Lanka.
Clement De Silva’s extraordinary shot of a group painting the famously all-white dome is a poignant reminder that the 9 – 5 grind looks different around the world. For you, reader, it might involve excel spreadsheets in an air-conditioned office, or shovelling bricks on top of each other with the right amount of mortar. For these guys, a work day involves standing on a makeshift ladder 55-metres in the air, giving an ancient place of worship a fresh lick of paint.
Congratulations to Clement De Silva for winning our Frame Your View competition. Clement has scored an Olympus camera for entering this incredible shot.

The Mt Hagen Cultural Show is a fusion of colour and chaos, with tribes converging on Port Moresby in Papua New Guinea to display their distinctive singsings. Antony Philip’s lovely portrait of a young tribe member in the midst of things transports us to another place.
