The Southern coast in 8 pictures

Over the bridge...

past the temple in the sea...

a beach!

A wide deserted beach, with the softest, whitest sand...

But the sea is rough,

red flags are up,

what to do but walk away...

...at least the pool is tranquil.

Kinda ironic that I'm writing about beaches and sunshine when Colombo is undergoing the worst flooding in decades. What can one do but have hope in times like these.

  7. Meshak - Thanks man. :D One before the last is my fave too.

    Losh - Well a lot of displaced people but I guess the damage is repairable. They have to move fast to avoid outbreaks of dengue though. :/

    Lo - You should. There are a lot of really affordable places down there, particularly in the Koggala - Tangalle stretch. :)

    Thanks for the comments, guys! :)

  8. Wow.. awesome collection. An inviting beach but too bad you had to keep away from it. =D My first time seeing a red flag too.

    Yeah, must have been tough for everyone out there. And the rain doesn't seem to cease at all. -__-
