Sri Lanka

84 images Created 1 Dec 2009

In my Sri Lanka gallery I endeavor to capture some of the character and beauty of this pearl of a country as it emerges from civil war and the tsunami. Sri Lanka has so much to offer the traveler, from ancient ruined cities, lush forests, luminescent tea plantations, golden beaches, friendly people and a rich and varied history. Now that there is peace I hope that many more travelers will serendipitously find their way to the island once named "Serendip".

My images are available as high resolution rights managed download, quality fine art prints, and print on canvas.

  • There are no fences and no one to warn you.  The elephants suddenly appear, and running faster than a person, move like a massive unstoppable river of living flesh, down to the water.  The Sri Lankans along the road close their shops and draw in their awnings in case the barely in control elephants should accidentally smash into them.<br />

  • Asian elephants in Sri Lanka wander freely around some parts of the country with few constraints.  These elephants are quite used to humans but are nevertheless still wild and potentially dangerous.<br />
