Rural Roads - Mannar, Sri Lanka


Mannar is a hotspot for birds during the migrant season which runs from October to roughly the end of February. I was out photographing some birds when this lone cyclist rode passed by giving me an opportunity to take this shot.

Adam's Bridge - Mannar, Sri Lanka


Adam's bridge is made up of 16 sand banks or "islands" between Sri Lanka and India. It is firs mentioned in the Hindu epic "Ramayana" where it is said to have been built by Rama's army to allow them to cross to Sri Lanka. Archeological evidence does suggest that the bridge is a man made structure. It was usable until the 1800s.
