Dogs, Sri Lanka.

Did you know that native dogs were exported from ancient Sri Lanka to Imperial Rome during the 1st Century AD. The native dogs were respected for their intelligence and hunting skills. We do not have any pure native breeds to boast of now.

A house on the hill, Alupola, Sri Lanka.

It is a peculiarity of the hilly regions in the province of Sabaragamuwa in Sri Lanka, that people build their houses as far away from their nearest neighbor. This is in sharp contrast to the North of this Island where houses are built closetogether.

Watching TV.

You really need TWO chairs, to watch TV in comfort. A picture of my second grand-son on his favourite perch.
