#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

Colombo is the capital of
Sri Lanka and it looks amazing in the night with illuminated skyscrapers.
this was captured infront of Beire Lake in a cloudy night.
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.
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.

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.
