Adam's Peak ๐ŸŒ„

     ๐Ÿ™   Adam's  Peak  ( เท්‍เถปී เถดාเถฏเทƒ්เถฎාเถฑเถบ ) ๐Ÿ™ Atop  a  conical  mountain  in  Sri  Lanka  sits  a large  foot - shaped  impression  in  rock  that  gives  the  peak  its  name : Sri  pada  or  "holy  footprint."  This  sacred  spot , which  is  also  known  as  Adam's  Peak, figures  in  the  stories  of  four  major  faith  traditions - Hinduism , Buddhism , Christianity  and  Islam - and  it  anchors  a  revered  forested  landscape  that  surrounds  the  mountain. Modern , state - controlled  wilderness - area  management , however , has  come  into  conflict  with  longstanding  local , faith - based  conservation practices , which  recognize  the  interconnectedness  of  spirituality  and  environmental  protection. Increasing  numbers  of  pilgrims  have  also  put  a  strain  on  the  area. As  one  local  inhabitant  of  the  forest  told  researcher  Anoja  Wikramasinghe : " This  is  a  huge  living  organism.... This  Excellency  nurtures  the  life

One of My Favourites

                  ๐Ÿจ๐Ÿฆ   Ice    Cream  ๐Ÿฆ๐Ÿจ           Ice  cream  is  a  sweetened  frozen  food  typically  eaten  as  a  snack  or  dessert. It  may  be  made  from  milk  or  cream  and  is  flavoured  with  a  sweetener , either  sugar  or  an  alternative , and  a  spice , such  as  cocoa  or vanilla , or  with  fruit  such  as  strawberries  or  peaches. It  can  also  be  made  by  whisking  a  flavoured  cream  base  and  liquid  nitrogen  together. Food  coloring  is  sometimes  added , in  addition  to  stabilizers. The  mixture  is  cooled  below  the  freezing  point  of  water  and  stirred  to  incorporate  air  spaces  and  to  prevent  detectable  ice  crystals from  forming. The  result is  a  smooth , semi-solid  foam  that  is  solid  at  very  low  temperatures ( 2 °C  or  35 °F ).
