Tangalle beach, Sri Lanka.

I took this picture of Tangalle beach at sunset. Almost the entire beach front has been bought up by foreigners who are building tourist resorts. A fisherman casting nets brought a catch of lobsters. He said he would get Rs.15,000/- for the five lobsters he caught that day. These are exported live to France, Germany etc.

Sunset at Avissawella.

The beauty of sunsets in Sri Lanka is a topic we hardly discuss. You need time to relax and watch it. The merging of myriads of colors on the cloudsis really impressive.

The boatman

The outrigger canoe is used to transport people from Eswaththe in Avissawella to Meethirigala in the Gampaha District across the Kelani Ganga. A bridge is proposed to be built at this site in the near future.

Little Cormorant

I took this picture on the Kudagama road, Avissawella. The cormorant was cooling itself by opening its wings to the breeze after a prolonged dive.
