Colombo Sri Lanka

We’re not quite Surrey anymore… Looks like Surrey but for the truck on the wrong side of the road overtaking the Tuk Tuk on the wrong side of the road and the trees in the houses.

Last day in Colombo

Last day in Colombo and I went looking for some tourist tatt… This lady appeared to be a beggar but insisted I take her photo (well at least that’s what I think she wanted). She has to be the best dressed beggar I have ever seen.

Crossing the road in Colombo is a little bit of an art. This bloke had it down pat.

Sri Lanka second set of shots……

 

Our walk to work involved going down a great little road that had heaps of characters on it.  I’d love to have more time and us a bit of flash with a higher shutter speed.  These are the shots from the walk to work.

Sri Lanka Random Pics

I was up at 6am to go down the road and try to get some shots of the fishermen I had seen with big catches the day before.  Clearly they only work every other day because there wasn’t too much going on when I was down there today….  Here are the shots that I managed to get today…

Fishing the hard way

Out rigger with a 1 person powered motor.  Seems like a really hard way to earn a living.

Stone the crows

Crows waiting for the opportunity to get a free feed from the off cuts from today’s catch.

Job well done

Clearly you can get a feed as a fisherman 😉

Mother and child

This lady wanted me to take her photo.  I have given her the card for the website but the wide angle lens isn’t really the most appropriate from portrait .

Drive through tea
