Ok, so I was going through my photo library looking for a picture to upload today. Well, nothing really caught my eye so I thought I’d upload a photograph of these flowers. To be honest I have no idea what the’re called. I was visiting my friend Sankas’ home in Galagedara last year when ...

Yes it’s been a while since I’ve last made a post. Something went wrong with the server the blog is being hosted on and we kind of had to re-install most of it so I though might as well give the site a bit of a makeover. Many thanks to my friend Zafar for sorting things out with the server. ...
The view from Hoods Tower at the Trincomalee Naval base in Sri Lanka. Three stories tall and located on high ground overlooking the entrance to the harbor, Hoods Tower was used as a watchtower to guard against enemy ships buy the British. Now a tourist attraction run by the Sri Lanka Navy, gives visitors a good vantage point of the harbor ...
Visited Jaffna for the first time a couple of weeks ago. After the war ended I badly wanted to visit Jaffna but couldn’t really afford the high cost and no one really wanted to join me, so the trip was shelved for the time being. But in January one of my friends and I decided to finally go, regardless the cost. Thankfully ...
I think the heading gives a satisfactory explanation. Please note that all images in this blog are the property of the photographer. No one may use these images without written permission from the photographer. The fact that it’s on the internet is not an excuse for you to steal it. Legal action will be taken against anyone using these ...
The last in the Enduro Lanka teamwork series. Teamwork doesn’t end when everyone gets back to the campsite. In-fact everyone pitches in with the setting up, cooking and cleaning for dinner. Afterwards two man teams take two hour shifts staying up, to keep the campfire going to make sure no wild animals come straying into the campsite. Please note that ...
Portrait of a caged monkey at the Dehiwala Zoo. And no, this is not the same primate photographed in the earlier post. Please note that all images in this blog are the property of the photographer. No one may use these images without written permission from the photographer. ...
I’m selling my Samsung Galaxy ACE GT-S5830i for Rs.22,500. I’ve only used it for about six months and its in mint condition along with the Original Charger, Headphones, SD Card, Data Cable, User Manual and an extra white back cover. I’m even throwing in a leather pouch and two extra screen protectors for free. It’s even got warranty for another ...
Slight update on yesterdays post. The tusker photographed is the Tusker belonging to the Katharagama temple and the priest is Wimalaratne Thero, deputy incumbent at the Bellanwilla Temple. I knew the’re was something significant in this. Thanks Chanishka Colombage for pointing it out.
Yes it’s been a while since I last uploaded anything. Now that work has gotten a bit less hectic I’ve been able to get some traveling done so I’ve got some new photographs to upload. Took this photograph of the sunrise over the Trincomalee harbor last week just before the rains came. Please note that all images in this blog are ...
Finally got a chance to get out of Colombo after ages. Even though it was for work, getting on a train and going somewhere, anywhere other than Colombo for any reason was a blessing. Didn’t take my D80 this time, instead used my phone cam (yes I finally have a phone with a camera) and played around with instagram. ...
Our vehicles weren’t the only things getting stuck on the muddy tracks in the Kumana jungle. Every now and then one of us would sink down into the mud and would need a helping hand to get out. This is one of the photographs featured on the book Jungle Journeys published by Enduro Lanka. Please note that all images in this ...
Ok last month Enduro Lanka contacted me and said that they decided print a limited number of books titled Jungle Journeys which will consist of a photo essay by myself and Sankha Wanniatchi on some of the teams journeys in the Eastern jungles of Sri Lanka. So for the last month I have been busy designing and then getting the ...
A photograph of moss growing on a tree in Horton Planes. The cold damp weather on the planes provides the ideal conditions for moss to grow. Some more colorful. I’ve accumulated a vast collection of moss photographs from my trips to Hortom Planes which I hope to edit and upload gradually. Please note that all images in this blog are the property of the ...
I was traveling to Kandy a couple of years back, on my way to Riverston with my friends. We decided to take the bus from Panadura to Kandy and take another series of buses to get to Riverston. This was taken at the start of the journey at 5am from the Panadura to Kandy bus off Koralawella past Panadura and just ...
I was on a camping trip two years ago in Horton Planes with some friends and on the last day we were treated to an awesome sunrise over the planes. We were camping in Campsite One which sits on a narrow valley between two hills. Once we woke up and saw the sky, everyone climbed up the hill to ...
Stumbled across some of the photographs these guys have been taking by mounting their camera on a miniature RC car. It’s quite an ingenious idea though not without it’s risks to the camera but much safer than having to kneel down in front on a lion to take its picture. Take a look at their Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/BLphotography?ref=pb) for photos and videos from the Beetle Cam. ...
With the current workload it has been a bit difficult to keep the blog up to date lately. But I thought that I would somehow get a picture up today. This photograph was taken inside the buduge (shrine room) at the Pokunuwita Raja Maha Viharaya a couple of years ago. It’s in that collection of photographs where I’ve saved on the hard drive ...
Spent my Saturday afternoon photographing the elephants at the Bellanwila Perahara. Managed to capture this Mahout giving his elephant a good scrub. I overheard some Mahouts saying that the Bellanwila perahara is one of few events where they provide bathing facilities for the elephants. This Mahout spent more than an hour washing his elephant, I guess he [...]
