I am excited to announce a new Sri Lanka gallery with a selection of images that I think captures some of the character and beauty of this pearl of a country as it emerges from civil war and the tsunami.
Sri Lanka has so much to offer the traveler, and now that there is a peace I hope that many more travelers will serendipitously find their way to the place once named “Serendip”.
One of my favorite images is this elephant stampede from maybe a little too close range.
Another favorite of mine is the tea pickers. I feel it captures the essence of Sri Lanka – the shimmering green of the of the tea plantations, the deep blue of the sky and the friendly nature of the people.

Alternatively, just watch the slideshow below. There are controls in the lower left corner to go to full screen, control the rate, or for personal use to embed the slideshow in your own website. Try it, it is is easy!

Stay tuned, I will be back soon with a full report of the new galleries I will be releasing in the next few weeks. The first will be the Laos gallery, followed by England which could not be more different!
