The 'Poruwa' and after in a Sinhalese wedding, Sri Lanka.

The decorated seat where the Bride & Groom sit after descending from the 'Poruwa'.

Green Dragonfly, Bo-path Ella waterfall, Kuruwita, Sri Lanka.


I saw this beautiful emerald green Dragon-fly, skimming the flowing water at the Alupola Falls in Rathnapura. When the wings are open the full beauty of it can be appreciated. It moves rapidly and is difficult to photograph.
