Took my first trip down to Galle on the Southern Expressway last weekend. This was the best I could do from the backseat of a moving vehicle. It took us roughly an hour to get to Galle, which is pretty much the same time it takes me to get to Colombo form home in Panadura. I’m sure the drastic ...

One of our vehicles on the Kumana trip got partly submerged in mud almost four feet deep. The right side of the vehicle was submerged while the left side was on the hard soil and the vehicle was in danger of tipping over. The team managed to tie a rope to it and using a tree as a pulley ...

Ok any regular visitors to the blog may notice that this weeks posts have all been on animals, and my plan is to keep it as a theme for this week. I was surfing through my photo library and got to this one of a cute ...
This ones from the trip I did to Kumana with Enduro Lanka. Sankha Wanniatchi prepares our first nights dinner. When camping you’re not sure what sort of weather you’ll have to encounter so it’s always best to be able to prepare you’re food as quickly and as easily as possible. Our favorite food of choice, Instant Noodles with either meat balls ...
We can’t forget that the driver is also an integral part of the offroading team. It takes a certain amount of skill to gently descend into a body of water and then wade across it in a vehicle like this. Although it was specially modified for this kind of thing an inexperienced driver would probably end up going nose first into the river bank. I know I would. Please ...
Went out last night to get some vesak shots in and around Panadura. Unfortunately there aren’t that many pandals as supposed to Colombo. But the one in the market is quite impressive and generally everyone around makes it a point to visit the market and have a look at the pandal every year. Please note that all images in ...

Last January while on a trip to Horton Planes we decided to hike up to Kirigalpoththa. Half way up we ran out of water and Chethiya, pictured here decided to try out some survival tips he had seen on the television program “Man vs Wild”. Afterwards we all had a go at sipping water droplets that had collected on the moss growing on the trees and ...
Yes it’s been some time since my last post. Starting up you’re own thing sounds awesome on paper but actually doing it involves some sacrifice. In my case I haven’t been able to do any travelling for some time now and I’m starting to miss the great outdoors. In an effort to remedy this, my photo buddy Sankha Wanniatchi suggested we visit the ...
I was in Yala National Park a couple months back when I had the chance to photograph some wild boars hanging around the parking lot at the main compound. They seemed quite unafraid of the humans and had no trouble getting as close as possible. In fact most of the animals in ...

In a couple of days it will be time to start celebrating Vesak. A festival of lights where Buddhists celebrate Lord Buddhas Birth, Enlightenment and Death. But mainly it’s just an excuse for everyone to hit the streets, roam around town till the wee hours and eat free food from dansals. I’m also hoping to hit the streets with my camera and tripod. Hopefully the ...
Photographed during an Enduro Lanka off-roading trip to Kumana, this shot shows the importance of team work. The driver and vehicle could not get anywhere without the hard work and support of the crew. I will dedicate this weeks photographs to try and document the hard work each individual in the team put in to get our two pickups across one hundred meters of thick ...
