A home-garden in Duwa, Negombo, Sri Lanka.

Duwa is an Island at the tip of Negombo. It is about 26 acres in extent. It is full of houses and well kept gardens. It has the Indian Ocean on it's west side and the Negombo Lagoon on it's east side. I took a picture of this beautiful garden when we visited friends a few days back.

Steam driven road roller of the 1950s, Sri Lanka.

In my boyhood I would spend hours watching a road roller at work. My ambition in life at that time was to become a driver of a steam road roller.

'Udarata Menike' at Pilimathalawa. Sri Lanka.

The 'observation car' of the Udarata Menike is an ideal spot to admire the scenic beauty of Sri Lanka in aiur-conditioned comfort. This is the last bogey in the day express running from Colombo to Badulla.

Cherry blossoms, Peradeniya, Sri Lanka.

It is cherry blossom ( Toboebia roesa) time in Sri Lanka now. The trees are in full bloom. A pinkish carpet covers the bottom of the trees and a blaze of pink and purple greets the wayfarer. I took this photo a few days back on the Peradeniya road near the bridge over the Mahaweli Ganga.

Moat in front of the Dalada Maligawa, Kandy, Sri Lanka.

The entrance to the 'Dalada Maligawa, Kandy, Sri Lanka, has a moat with fish and tortoises swimming in it. It has a sense of serenity accentuated by the architectural design of the wall of the moat. I tried to convey that sense in this photograph.
