The mist shrouded hills & the flower in the garden, Castlereigh, Sri Lanka.

Planter's bungalow built in 1826, Castelereigh, Dickoya, Sri Lanka.

This planters bungalow built in 1826, is now a guest house. It overlooks the Castelreigh Reservoir built in the 1950s to provide hydro-power. The surrounding tea fields are a beauty. Rooms cost Rs.2500/ per day and meals are extra. Lovely country walks and a peaceful environment are guaranteed. I went for a lunch and rest for one day and took this picture.

A cloudy day over the Negombo lagoon exit.

Boats on the Negombo lagoon.

Fishing boats anchored in the Negombo lagoon were a lovely sight on a sunny day when I took this picture from a boat. You can see the mangroves and the egrets perched on the fishing nets stored on the boats.
