My mom and I were walking towards the city from the beach in Colombo, when suddenly we noticed crowds of people hurrying somewhere. Of course I couldn't miss to know who, where and why so I rushed up a small bridge to see more...and captured :)
Yesterday I was digging in my Sri Lanka photos and found a couple like this, I completely forgot about. Since it's grey and cold in Armenia (although sunny from time to time), I thought best I can do is share more photos from hot, sunny, green Sri Lanka.

SriLankan Airlines may not be the biggest airline in the world but is operating an extensive fleet across Asia, Europe and Oceania operating an all-Airbus fleet from its hub in Colombo.
The airline was formed back in 1947 as Air Ceylon before commencing operation in 1979 after being established in Air Lanka. By 1998, Air Lanka was partially acquired by Emirates and was rebranded as SriLankan Airlines who introduced the current livery, however by 2008, Emirates notified the Sri Lankan government which saw its management contract not to be renewed with its stake to be handed over to the Sri Lankan government.
The airline has since joined Oneworld alliance in 2014 and is undergoing major changes including fleet renewal and brand new cabin interiors. They are currently in the process of taking delivery of brand new Airbus A330-300's and is soon to gain 7 Airbus A350-900's which will oust their Airbus A330-200 and Airbus A340-300 fleet.
Today, the airline currently operates 7 Airbus A330-200's and 3 Airbus A330-300's with 4 more examples to be delivered. Currently, SriLankan operate the longest flight for an Airbus A330-300 operating them between London Heathrow and Colombo.
Alpha Lima Juliet was originally delivered new to JMC Airlines in March 2002 as G-OJMC having been leased from CiT Leasing. Thomas Cook acquired the JMC business and the airframe became part of the fleet in March 2003 with it being leased from ALC from November 2011. She has been operating with SriLankan since March 2012 and is powered by 2 Rolls-Royce Trent 772B-60 engines.

Crater Colombo, just below center of the image, is representative of the common crater feature that caught my eye when I paused to photograph this scene - flooded crater floors. Many of these craters have been flooded, perhaps by the same basaltic lava flows that created Mare Fecunditatis, which is seen in both the left (north) and right (south) edges of the image. If correct, this would indicate that the flooded craters are older than the surrounding mare.
Rimae Gutenberg emerges from the left edge of the image and proceeds across the floor of Gutenburg, the largest crater in the area. Just above that, Rimae Goclenius also emerges from the left edge of the image and similiarly proceeds across the floor of crater Goclenius.
To the upper right (southeast) of Colombo is Cook, a low-walled flooded crater. Above and to the right of Cook lies Cook B, a crater that is not flooded, indicating that it is younger than Mare Fecunditatis. A thin bright line that I cannot identify on a map extends northward (left) from Cook B. Perhaps this is the Sun shining on the face of an escarpment.
