Cadju sellers, Batticaloa, Sri Lanka.
Cadju plants grow naturally in the arid sandy soil of Batticaloa. The nuts were collected, roasted, split open and sold on the pavements of Batticaloa. Now the sales point is restricted to an area close to the Childrens Park in the centre of the town. I took this picture around 10 am. The current price is Rs.1000/- per Kilo of roasted nuts.

Old and new bridges at Manampitiya, Sri Lanka.
There were two bridges accommodating both rail and road traffic at Manampitiya and Ottamawady on the road to Batticaloa in Sri Lanka. New separate concrete bridges have been built for each of these now. The bridge at Manampitiya spans the Mahawely Ganga the biggest river in Sri Lanka. I took these pictures of the old and new bridges recently while on a trip to Batticaloa.
