Sri Lanka and it looks amazing in the night with illuminated skyscrapers.
this was captured infront of Beire Lake in a cloudy night.
# In July 2025 I visited Hungary and Budapest for the first time. We stayed at the Mystery Hotel on the Pest side of the Danube. A wonderful hotel though the location was a little bit quiet.
#A statue tribute to the actor Peter Falk who played Colombo honours his Hungarian roots through his maternal Grandfather
#If your crossing over to Buda then the funicular railway is probably your best bet or a bus. On a hot day its a steep climb
#We had 10 days in Budapest and still didn't a lot of the popular things in Budapest such as visiting the underground caves or the thermal baths.
#One of my highlights was visiting the Robert Capa Museum During a remarkable short life he covered 5 wars and was at the time the worlds pre-eminent war photographer
Dear Flickr friends, today you may take a look at Cristoforo Colombo’s house. According to some historical documents, Cristoforo Colombo lived in this house when he was young.
In the façade there is a marble tablet with an inscription in Latin: « Nulla Domus Titulo Degnior Paternis In Aedibus Christophorus Columbus Pueritiam Primamque Juventam Transegit »
(in English: “No house is more worthy of consideration of this in which Christopher Columbus spent the first youth”).
Now Colombo’s house is a museum.

Mount Lavinia is a southern suburb of Colombo. It is actually a small cape that indents the mostly straight coastline of Sri Lanka's west coast.
Mount Lavinia Hotel is a heritage hotel converted from a British governor's residence. It is built on the cape overlooking the Indian Ocean. The hotel's rooftop poolside combined with an outdoor dining area commands a nice view of Colombo's coastline up to its Fort area. It is great to be here at sunset.
Colombo Lighthouse was built in 1952 on the Marine Drive at the western periphery of Colombo Fort. It does not function as a lighthouse anymore because Chinese-funded Port City Project has reclaimed the sea in front of the lighthouse. It is an insult to the historical landmark.
The evening rush hour is building up, trains are getting busier and busier with no seating inside and passengers hanging out of the doors. People falling from trains is a daily occurrence at most stations.
Here an S11 power set builds up speed as she heads north to Polgahawela as it departs Maradana station in Colombo, Sri Lanka during the early evening.
A walking tour with a companion and a camera is a great way to get to know the streets of Colombo, Sri Lanka, and to absorb the local colour and history.

Pettah side of Colombo from Bambalapitiya. Thanks to My friend Rasika who provided the chance for shoot.
Colombo is a huge, sprawling city, which can be visited any time of year due to its tropical climate. The traffic can feel somewhat overwhelming at first but it is organised and much more manageable when compared to other major cities of South and Southeast Asia. On a clear day, it’s difficult to miss the Lotus Tower dominating Colombo’s skyline.
