Scenes of Jaffna in the 1950s; Sri Lanka. Exhibit at the Gnanam's Hotel.


A water-boiler used in a tea-shop.

A farmer returning after work.

A wooden plough.

Kitchen utensils made of granite.
Everything was used, repaired and passed on from generation to generation. The throw-aways were minimal and were bio-degradable. Life centered on the villages where every need was met.
