Ride on a 'kola patha', Joys of childhood, Sri Lanka.

Getting ready with a 'kola patha' - Arecanut palm leaf base.

Seated and getting a good grip on the fronds.

Away on the ride of a life-time.

Getting a ride on a 'kola patha' - the base of an arecanut leaf - is still one of the joys of childhood in Sri Lanka. The peals of laughter of the rider and the spectators is a joy to watch.
