Towards Kanagaraayan Kulam, A9 Highway, Sri Lanka.

The road stretches on.

A farmer working his field.

Paddy fields.

The endless-looking arrow-straight highway greets the motorist. It was so in the old days too but now there are no large trees on either side of the road-wa and the highway is much wider and the smaller twists and turns have been straightened out.
