Bird-life by the side of the highway.
Vast stretches of open land sitting in collections of water, a steady breeze and bird-life in its variety, these are the impressions I got of travelling in this area. Looking at the map of the area I realized that I was doing 'Island-hopping' via roadways.

Scenes from Gurunagar to Velanai, Sri Lanka.




The road from Gurunagar to Velanai is free of pot holes. It passes a lot of causeways and the bird life was super in December 2012.
