Fishermens huts, old and new, Kallady, Batticaloa, Sri Lanka.

 An abandoned fishermens' hut near collapse and totally bio-degradable was seen by me close to a new hut at Kallady Beach. They have one built of cement bricks and tiled roof but that does not look so simple as these two.

The vast expanse of sand  at Kallady beach is shown in these two pictures taken by me. It is a place for morning walks, to watch the evening sunsets and to be under a full moon merry making and having dinner.

There is a lovely enclosed childrens park at Kallady beach, Batticaloa. I took these pictures there. These are all part of the post-tsunami rehabilitation project.

The beach at Kallady in Batticaloa, Sri Lanka has for generations attracted people. The acres of treeless sand and the ocean breeze on moonlit nights called for group singing, booze and dinner. What a lovely time we had in days gone by. After the Tsunami it has been made into a lovely spot. There is an elevated board walk, halls to rest in and an adjoining play ground for children. I took these pictures on the 13thAugust 2011.
