Sunset at Sedawaththe, Colombo, Sri Lanka.


Sedawaththe is a very old settlement on the left bank of the Kelany Ganga. In ancient times ships bringing produce from overseas anchored here. In later times timber in the form of tied logs were transported on the river from the forests up stream and a lot of timber mills were erected here.

A 'junk yard' of old cars, Sedawaththe, Colombo, Sri Lanka.





Restoring old model cars is a hobby among quite a few present day Sri Lankans. Owners of junk yards do a roaring business selling needed replacements.
