The Port of Colombo (known as Port of Kolomtota during the early 14th Century Kotte Kingdom) is the largest and busiest port in Sri Lanka as well as in South Asia.
Located in Biera Lake, Seema Malaka is mainly used for meditation and rest. It is part of the nearby Buddhist Gangaramaya Temple.
Me and my wife have started writing a blog, mostly with photographs.
This one is from our trip to Colombo.

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.

This is my favourite part of Colombo Airport : )
For a small island, Sri Lanka has many nicknames: Serendib, Ceylon, Teardrop of India, Resplendent Isle, Island of Dharma, Pearl of the Orient. This colourful collection reveals its richness and beauty, and the intensity of the affection it evokes in its visitors.
The beach thing may be a cliche, but don't miss them. Then head to the hills to cool off amidst tea plantations and ancient cities. The island teems with bird life, and even the occasional elephant or leopard. To top it all off, the people are friendly, the food is delicious and costs are low.
Quoted from Lonely Planet
The current 29-metre-high (95 ft) lighthouse was built in 1952 after the Old Colombo Lighthouse was deactivated when its light became obscured by nearby buildings as part of the Colombo Harbor Expansion project. It was opened by Rt Hon D.S.Senanayake, the first prime minister of Ceylon. Built on a concrete base which is 12 m (39 ft) high, it has four statues of lions at its base. -wikipedia-
