Sooriyawewa, Sri Lanka.

Sooriyawewa, a large reservoir is close to Embilipitiya. I took this picture from its bund. The gentle breezes and the green paddy fields watered by it are an unforgettable sight.

Sunset at Wellawaththe beach, Sri Lanka.

Sunsets are always beautiful. The colors change from moment to moment and over a few minutes almost all the colors of the rainbow are seen. Even after the red ball of the sun goes below the horizon, the display of colors is awesome. This was one of a series of pictures I took at Wellawathe beach, in Sri Lanka.

Outlet from the Negombo Lagoon, Sri Lanka.

I took this picture on a boat ride, taking off from Duwa, bordering the outlet of the Negombo Lagoon. You can see the outlet on the horizon.

Paddy fields of Tissa, Sri Lanka.

I took this picture while returning from Katharagama, from the bund of the Tissa Wewa. The paddy fields were a lovely green in the sunlight. The white painted Dagoba partially hidden by the branches of the tree formed a nice composition.

The Alupola falls - all three stages.

The first and second cascades are obvious. The third stage starts just below the second and only the top of it is visible on the picture. The people on the bottom right hand corner give a perspective re the size of the falls.

Alupola water falls, second and third, Rathnapura, Sri Lanka.

I took this picture of the second and third parts of the cascade of the Alupola waterfalls. These are the two places for bathing and to have a chat over beer and lunch on rainless day. You have to climb over rocks to go to these places.
