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.
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.
A very quick grab shot :-)

"The Colombo Lotus Tower, standing proudly in the heart of Colombo, is South Asia’s tallest self-supported structure and Sri Lanka’s tallest skyscraper, reaching an impressive height of 356 meters (1168 feet). Designed to resemble a lotus blossom, a symbol of purity and renewal, this iconic structure reflects the blend of tradition and modernity in Sri Lanka. With construction initiated in 2012, the tower was meticulously crafted over a decade and opened to the public on 15th September 2022, marking a new chapter in Sri Lanka’s architectural and technological advancement......"
COLOMBO, SRI LANKA - SEP 20, 2016: Colombo Sarees Market is a very crowded place at Second Cross Street, Colombo-11, Sri Lanka.
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.
Confeitaria Colombo is located in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, one of the main tourist attractions in Downtown area.
This a recent photograph after the reform of the skyline. Many thanks to Deise Novakoski and Renato Freire.
The bakery was founded in 1894 by Portuguese immigrants Joaquim Borges de Meirelles and José Manuel Lebrão, with a long list of celebrity clients from the Brazilian society.
Its architecture and environment give an idea of what have been the Belle Époque in the capital of the Republic. Between 1912 and 1918 the halls inside the bakery have been reformed, with a touch of Art Nouveau, with huge crystal mirrors brought from Antwerp, surrounded by elegant friezes carved rosewood. The wooden furniture inside were carved at the same time by the craftsman Antonio Borsoi.
In 1922 its facilities were expanded with the construction of a second floor with a tea room. An opening in the roof of the ground floor to see the skylight of the tea room, decorated with beautiful stained glass.
