Beaching an outrigger canoe

'Beaching' an outrigger canoe above the high water mark, after a fishing trip, takes a lot of effort. Helping hands are always available. I took this picture at Tangalle Bay in the south of Sri Lanka on a morning.

Whispering House

We found this house with 5 beds, a swimming pool, and a lovely ambiance for a stay of 3 days near the Tangalle bay, Sri Lanka. We had to prepare our own meals. We had a lovely time there

The waves

Watching the waves on a beach at Tangalle was a very soothing experience. The slow silent build up, the rolling over of the crest which becomes white and then the shallow water makes the crest to roll over and slam on to the outgoing wave making a bang was a beauty to watch. The sound of the bang could be heard in the chalet a few hundred yards inland, throughout the day and night. It formed a lullaby to my sleep at night.

Tangalle Bay Hotel, Tangalle, Sri Lanka

The Tangalle Bay Hotel was rebuilt on a design resembling a ship, facing the Tangalle Bay. It was built at the site of an older hotel which stood there more than 50 years. Each of the rooms has a lovely view facing the sea. I took this picture one month ago.

Coming home

I took this picture about a month ago from the beach at Tangalle, Sri Lanka. This was in the morning and the boatman was returning with the mornings catch.
