Another Friday has rolled around, so it's time for another Friday favourite. We're still in Sri Lanka, this time in Polonnaruwa where I was taken with sheer size and beauty of the Reclining Buddha.
Once again this image was taken with my Nikon 801 camera using Fuji Neopan film ISO 100. The settings used were 1/60sec at f8.
Have a great weekend,

One of my current clients originally came from Sri Lanka. She is so thrilled that I've been to Sri Lanka especially to Kandy, her home town. Kandy was such a vibrant lively place with beautiful gardens and a famous temple, the Temple of the Tooth. The lotus blossoms were photographed outside the temple.
One of the things I enjoyed most about Sri Lanka apart from the people was the food especially the fish rotties, the curries, the dhal and for dessert, buffalo curd with kitul treacle, I can't buy buffalo curd here in Sydney but Mary made a trip across town to buy me a bottle of kitul treacle. It tastes just as good poured over greek yoghurt, but I digress...
All the images were shot using Fuji Reala 100 ISO film with my Nikon F60 camera.

I travelled to Sri Lanka in January 2003, about 18 months before the tsunami devastated the coastline. I really enjoyed my time there, the people and most importantly, the food.
After visiting Kandy, we headed to the hills to stay on a tea plantation. On our way to Nurya Eliya we stopped at a small village where the pongal festival was taking place. It was colourful and very noisy and we ended up daubed with flour paste.
I spied this little girl watching the fun and instantly dubbed her "The Little Jewel" as she was so sweet dressed in her prettiest party frock. The photo was shot using my favourite colour film, Fuji Reala 100.
There'll be a few more images of Sri Lanka in the coming weeks,
