Sentinel - Lahugala, Sri Lanka

 

While driving through Lahugala, we came across this stunning tree in the middle of a dried up lake bed. Fired off a few frames with a telephoto lens and decided to process it as a black and white image as I felt the contrast between the tree and the clouds and surroundings made the image "work".

Indian Tree Frog - Kandy, Sri Lanka

This was one of about 5 Indian tree frogs (Polypedates maculatus) that emerged out of an egg sack that was hanging over some water. It took the frogs about 15-20 minutes to emerge from the sack and hop away. Some of them made straight for some shrubs that were growing close to the sack while others jumped into the water. 

Mawella Beach - Tangalle, Sri Lanka

An early morning walk along the beach brought me to a small harbour at Mawella. The colourful boats had already come in and were drawn up on the beach. Apart from myself and another man, the beach was deserted.
