Diverse Views of Sri Lanka

This is the fourth anniversary of my blog, as I began it four years ago on this day on 16th January
2016. I like the fact that the fourth anniversary coincides with my 50th blog post. This 50th blog post
of mine deals with Sri Lanka which is the topic I feature the most on this blog. I was recently in Sri
Lanka and will be featuring photos of Sri Lanka in three sections, those being Colombo, Road Views
and Kandy.

Colombo
I’ll begin with a picture taken from the suburb of Wellawatte.

The following is a shot of a railway line by the beach, also in Wellawatte.

The Sysco LABS building.

A view of Beira Lake.
 

Independence Memorial Hall in Independence Square.

The park and walking path near Independence Square.

Taken from De Soysa Circus.

A few images of Colombo at night.


Road Views
The following three photos are taken on the Southern Expressway. The first image has an exit sign in kilometres which coincides with another blog post I’m working on, that being an article about how Sri Lanka switched to the metric system. This year marks the 50th anniversary of Sri Lanka’s decision the adopt the metric system. I thought I’d mention that as this is my 50th blog post.

So that was the photos I selected of Sri Lanka. I tried to showcase the diversity of Sri Lanka from the
places I went to on my recent trip home. Hope you enjoyed it.

  1. It makes one realize how resplendent Sri Lanka is. Unfortunately this is offset by vile men - the politicos. It is great you highlight this unequaled god given Island. Thank you for sharing.
