Fuji 6x9 with Reala and you get a picture that looks like a postcard that has been touched up with paint.
Colombo is Sri Lanka’s bustling commercial hub located on the west coast of the island. The city is rich with culture, heritage and religions and one place you can witness the contrast of best and worst Sri Lanka has to offer.
While Colombo offers an array of luxury, hotels, restaurants, Nightclubs, Casinos and shopping malls bearing famous brands to satisfy the luxury living standards it also carries a maze of small shops selling wholesale and retail in cramped-up dusty, noisy streets and traffic jams that are so crazy, enough to make locals cringe.
A jarring mix of old and new, the city of Colombo is a cluster of high rise office blocks and hotels overshadowing red tiled colonial era buildings and sprawling street markets which overflow with high piled fruits and vegetables, deliciously fragrant traditional Sri Lankan spices and colorful silks and cottons. The places of worship and symbolic of Sri Lanka’s multi ethnic heritage such as Buddhist temples, extravagant temples encrusted with Hindu statuary can be found in the crowded streets of Colombo, along with Islamic mosques with minarets scattered along the busy streets.
A ponte Colombo Salles é uma das três pontes do complexo que liga a Ilha de Santa Catarina ao continente, e a segunda a ser construída. Faz a ligação entre as duas partes de Florianópolis, capital do estado de Santa Catarina.
Assim como as demais pontes da cidade, seu nome é uma homenagem a um governador, o engenheiro Colombo Machado Salles, por decisão da Assembléia Legislativa de Santa Catarina.
É uma ponte com estrutura de concreto, mas com desenho igual a de sua sucessora de ferro, a ponte Pedro Ivo Campos. O projeto arquitetônico é de autoria de Pedro Paulo de Melo Saraiva. Foi concluída em 1975 e possui 1.227 metros de extensão, contendo quatro pistas no sentido continente.

El Puente Colombo Salles (en portugués Ponte Colombo Salles) es un puente ubicado en la ciudad brasileña de Florianópolis, capital del Estado de Santa Catarina. Es uno de los tres puentes del complejo que conecta las dos partes de Florianópolis -la Isla de Santa Catarina y la parte continental- y el segundo en ser construido.
Fue inaugurado en 1975 y posee 1.227 metros de extensión. Es un puente con estructura de concreto, pero con un diseño igual al de su sucesor de hierro, el Puente Pedro Ivo Campos. Su nombre homenajea al entonces gobernador, el ingeniero Colombo Machado Salles, por decisión de la Asamblea Legislativa de Santa Catarina.

Le pont Colombo Salles est un ouvrage d'art situé dans l'État brésilien de Santa Catarina, dans la municipalité de Florianópolis. Il s'agit de l'un des trois ponts reliant l'île de Santa Catarina au continent.
Construit en béton, il mesure 1 227 mètres de longueur et fut achevé en 1975. Il fut baptisé d'après le nom du gouverneur de l'État à l'époque, Colombo Machado Salles.
This is looking the other way (south) from the hotel. With a population of about 650,000, Colombo is not a huge city compared to other Asian capitals. But it has a long history having been first settled by Arab Muslims in the 8th century, then by the Portuguese early in the 16th century followed by the Dutch from the middle of the 17th and the British at the end of the 18th.

You can tell it's in Sri Lanka, you see, from the stereotypical presence of an auto rikshaw. Watch this space for women in saris and Buddhist monks carrying umbrellas!
It's featured in the March 2009 issue of the Architectural Review, by the way - go out, buy a copy, and have a read! I don't think they chose the best pictures, to be honest, but it's nice to have eight pages or so of your photos published in an international magazine nonetheless!

Isabel isn't stupid. She's done her research on what Rosario has been doing since those times. Knows that she was pushed out of her job as a Guide because she'd been arrested one too many times, at Gifted-rights rallies and protesting against public figures on high-profile platforms.
She'd been particularly vocal after the disappearance of a teenage girl who'd levelled an entire section of Colombo, Lisbon's largest shopping centre. They'd taken her licence after that and she'd slipped under the radar.
Not completely though, or Isabel wouldn't have been able to find her.
