Assignment shot for Cinnamon Hotels from Cinnamon Red. Colombo does have a beautiful and well-lighted up skyline just before Vesak.

Independence Memorial Hall (also Independence Commemoration Hall) is a national monument in Sri Lanka built for commemoration of the independence of Sri Lanka from the British rule with the restoration of full governing responsibility to a Ceylonese-elected legislature on February 4, 1948.
It is located at the Independence Square (formerly Torrington Square) in the Cinnamon Gardens, Colombo.
The monument was built at the location where the formal ceremony marking the start of self-rule, with the opening of the first parliament by the HRH Prince Henry, Duke of Gloucester occurred at a special podium February 4, 1948.

Colombo (2018)
Ausgestellt im Museum Wiesbaden vom 20. 9. 2019 bis 19. 1. 2020.
Kein künstlerisches Medium hat so viele positive wie negative Zuschreibungen erlebt wie die Malerei. Mit dem Ausstellungsprojekt Jetzt! Junge Malerei in Deutschland unternehmen das Kunstmuseum Bonn, das Museum Wiesbaden, die Kunstsammlungen Chemnitz – Museum Gunzenhauser und die Deichtorhallen Hamburg den Versuch, den aktuellen Stand des Mediums zu bestimmen. Ziel ist es, einen gültigen Querschnitt durch die junge in Deutschland produzierte Malerei zu geben und dabei all ihre Erscheinungsformen zu berücksichtigen.

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-
