Deduru Oya at Ibbagamuwa, Sri Lanka.

 The Deduru Oya crosses the Kurunegala Dambulla highway just before Ibbagamuwa. I took these pictures of an 'anicut' upstream made to feed water to the paddy fields and a beautiful tree spreading over the river downstream. Deduru Oya is notorious for its flash floods which occur when heavy rains fall on the hills of Mathale.

Kallady bridge as seen from the Batticaloa Dutch Star Fort, Sri Lanka.

The old bridge at Kallady, crossing the Batticaloa lagoon is seen in this picture taken from the ramparts of the Dutch Star Fort, across the lagoon. A new bridge is being built and will wipe away this view when the bridge is completed..
