The Batticaloa Lagoon, Sri Lanka

 Batticaloa in Sri Lanka is known as the land of 'milk and honey'. It has buffalo curd and bee honey, it has cadju nuts and very tasty rice, sea food like crabs, prawns, lobsters and crayfish from the lagoon and fresh sea fish. It has the beautiful lagoon which at sunrise and sunset are paradise itself. Its people are very hospitable and they love their leisure. I took these photos of the lagoon during a recent visit.

Watching the sunset over the Batticaloa lagoon takes one to another world. The peace and tranquility, unaffected by the rush of 'civilization' is palpable.
