A wayside boutique, Sooriyawewa, Sri Lanka.

I took this photo of a wayside boutique at Sooriyawewa in the Hambanthota district of Sri Lanka. With a large population on the move on pilgrimages throughout the year, these eating houses cater to a variety of needs of the travellers.

Watering a field, Sooriyawewa.

On a hot day with an approaching drought it is necessary to water the fields using a diesel pump. The water is pumped from a water channel emerging from the Sooriyawewa tank.. I took this picture in February, 2010.
