A street photograph in Colombo, the de facto capital of Sri Lanka. The building in the background was rather disturbing, which is why I show it only faintly.
Il colombo è stato una delle prime specie ad essere addomesticata ed il suo legame con l’uomo e le costruzioni si perde nell’antichità: tra l’8000 e il 3000 a.C. nell’area della Fertile Mezzaluna, dove l’uomo diventò un agricoltore sedentario. Oggi appare la specie più inurbata, con un completo adattamento all’ambiente urbano, di cui sfrutta ogni possibile risorsa e nel quale ha trovato un surrogato del suo antico habitat (pareti rocciose).

The Colombo Centre (Centro Colombo in Portuguese) is a shopping centre located in the parish of CarnideThe architecture of the space, as well as its original decoration, was themed to the time of the Age of Discovery, one of the periods most important of the history of Portugal. The squares and streets inside the centre have names alluding to the Elizabethan era, such as "Avenue of the Descobrimentos" and "Square Trópico de Câncer". From 2007 and 2009, the centre renovated its interior design completely, mixing contemporary concepts with the originals.
Tá na hora de renovar o estoque de biscoito de leque e de manteiga Aviação.

Colombo, de facto capital of Sri Lanka. The sheltered location on a peninsula + a protected natural harbor made the formerly small fishing village a sought-after trading port for the spice island.
After independence in 1948, Colombo also became the political center of the island.

The Town Hall - Colombo is the headquarters of the Colombo Municipal Council and the office of the Mayor of Colombo. It is built in front of the Viharamahadevi Park, Colombo, Sri Lanka. It is the meeting place for the elected municipal council.
In 1922 the Colombo Municipal Council held an international architectural design competition and the winning design was drawn by S. J. Edwards, of the architectural firm Ralph Booty & Co. The foundation stone was laid on 24 May 1924, by the Mayor of Colombo, Thomas Reid, CCS. The construction of the building was undertaken by A. A. Gammon & Co and on 9 August 1928 it was opened by the Governor Sir Herbert Stanley KCMG. Edwards' design was similar to L'Enfant's neoclassical style Capitol Building in Washington, D. C.
It is is 108 m (354 ft) in length and 51.3 m (168 ft) in width. The total height of the building equals its width. Many alterations have been made to the original design, but the building still possesses a few characteristics that have not been altered by modern renovations.
Con el tiempo entiendes que los verdaderos amigos son contados,
y que quien lucha por ellos, tarde o temprano se verá rodeado de amistades falsas.
Con el tiempo aprendes que disculpar, cualquiera lo hace,
pero perdonar… eso es sólo cosa de almas grandes.
Con el tiempo comprendes que si has herido a un amigo duramente,
muy probablemente la amistad jamás volverá a ser igual.
Con el tiempo te darás cuenta de que, aunque seas feliz con tus amigos,
algún día llorarás por aquellos a quienes dejaste ir.
Con el tiempo te darás cuenta de que cada experiencia vivida con cada persona es irrepetible.
Con el tiempo comprendes que apresurar las cosas o forzarlas a que pasen
ocasionará que, al final, no sean como esperabas.
Con el tiempo te darás cuenta de que, en realidad,
lo mejor no era el futuro, sino el momento que estás viviendo… justo este instante.
Pero, desafortunadamente, sólo con el tiempo uno aprende.
Estoy, y quiero vivir, como si no tuviera nada que perder.
Como si cada día fuera el último,
como si siempre estuviera a punto de partir en la nave que nunca ha de tornar.
Quiero besar como si cada beso fuera el último,
quiero gozar como si cada gozo fuera el último,
quiero hacer televisión como si cada programa fuera el último,
la última copa de vino,
la última noche de amor,
el último paseo por las calles de Sevilla,
la última canción,
las últimas palabras.
Cuando a uno le da igual perderlo todo,
desaparecen los miedos, las cadenas, las ataduras, los compromisos, la timidez, el miedo.
Cuando uno está dispuesto a perderlo todo,
empieza a estar en condiciones de ganarlo todo.
¿Qué es todo?…el valor, la sinceridad, la autenticidad, la claridad, la libertad,
el camino a la verdad y la vida.
Quiero vivir de acuerdo conmigo mismo.
De eso se trata, hermano.
