Colombo, de facto capital of Sri Lanka. The sheltered location on a peninsula + a protected natural harbor made the formerly small fishing village a sought-after trading port for the spice island.
After independence in 1948, Colombo also became the political center of the island.

Négombo (Sri Lanka) - Cette photo est l’une des toutes premières prises à mon arrivée au Sri Lanka. Je venais de m’installer pour quelques jours à Négombo et il me tardait de découvrir la vie locale. A peine sorti de mon hôtel, je suis tombé sur ces petites filles qui attendaient sagement dans un rickshaw. Je crois que le véhicule appartenait au père de l’une des enfants.
La population de l’île est diversifiée, mais les deux principaux groupes communautaires sont les Cinghalais, majoritaires à 75 %, suivis des Tamouls (11,2 %). Si les Cinghalais sont bouddhistes, les Tamouls sont principalement hindous avec une importante proportion chrétienne. Quant aux musulmans, ils représentent 7 % de la population.
Sri Lankan Smile
Negombo (Sri Lanka) - This photo is one of the very first taken when I arrived in Sri Lanka. I had just settled in Negombo for a few days and I was eager to discover the local life. I had barely left my hotel when I came across these little girls waiting patiently in a rickshaw. I think the vehicle belonged to the father of one of the children.
The island's population is diverse, but the two main community groups are the Sinhalese who are the majority at 75% of the population, followed by the Tamils ​​(11.2%). If the Sinhalese are Buddhist, the Tamils are mainly Hindu with a significant Christian proportion. As for Muslims, they represent 7% of the population.
This is a new edit of a photograph I took originally in 2017. It was taken on the southern coast en route from Yala National Park to Galle. The coastline there is gorgeous, the water has that unique shade that only tropical waters have, and it's very, very rocky.
Full view of Sri Ram Temple, Ramadevara Betta, Ramanagara, Karnataka
Ramanagara is surrounded by natural granite rocks.In this region the iconic Hindi movie Sholay was shot. It is no surprise that this place is a haven for rock climbers and trekkers. To reach the temple one has to climb around 350 steps. The path leading to the top is enclosed by abundant greenery and the boulders, many of which have figures of Gods on them.
