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 According to some historical documents, Cristoforo Colombo lived in this house when he was young.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.
Please View Large On Black for better details, thanks!

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.

I was lucky enough to have a friend living and working in the Colombo when I visited Sri Lanka some years ago, and as she too is a photography-enthusiast, she guided us to the best districts to walk around. We spent the weekend chatting as we alternated photo-walks with coffee-stops around the city.
There is debate as to how this 5 ha (12 acre) ocean-side urban park came by its name of Galle Face. The space was originally set aside so that the Dutch cannons could watch over the sea and was laid out as a promenade by the British in 1859. The building in the background is our destination for sunset drinks: the Galle Face Hotel – established in 1864.

Salam Colombo!
The uptown is treatened, coz the high-rise buildings of banks, combines and Hotels are nearing. Between the mosques and halal restaurants are the barely dwellings. And the pulse of this neighborhood vibrates...
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.

The sky overhead in the Galle Face Green was full of colourful kites, and I was a little envious, as I’ve never succeeded in flying one. This urban park stretches 500 m (1,600 ft) along the coast, and is a popular destination for the city’s residents.

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.
