Sri Lanka

I needed some sun, some adventure; wild empty beaches, ancient history, exotic creatures. I needed Sri Lanka!

its recent troubles still echoing but with a smile and a ‘Hello, good morning Sir’ from everyone I met, this was a holiday made for Hipstamatic!

From the historic Fort of Galle with its mix of Portuguese, Dutch and British architecture to the golden sands and crashing waves of the near deserted south coast, I headed inland for a sunrise safari and then to the City of the Ancient Kings on the most amazing train journey that climbed through misty mountains and tea covered hills. This island was truly a dream to photograph.
