I've updated a few photos and have also been adding some old ones in. I have over 9,000 and want to get some of the better ones up but don't worry there are not that many to view!!
You'll find the new ones in the following:-
Sri Lanka Trips:
- Negombo - a trip an hour north to the beach of Negombo, OK for a day or two as it's full of community life but not much else. Good for a relaxing w/e away!
Sri Lanka General:
- Nimal's Turtle Hatchery - releasing turtles born 6 days previously. Nimal buys eggs from people who dig them out of the sand as a food delicacy or other conscientious locals who want to save them, he keeps them in a sand bed until they hatch then releases them to the sea. We've been helping him for a couple of years now, check out the website which isn't too bad for a local SL site! (http://www.srilankaturtles.com/)
- Work in Colombo - I've been working 80 hour weeks to get a photo exhibition in with an extremely tight deadline from our donors USAID, hence looking 10 years older! Here are some photos of the opening night. We also launched a website - whilst the design is not quite my choice it is the good beginning of a site we hope to develop and to be fair is better than most out there in this field. If you would like to contribute you can add things into the Peace Forum or the Young Visitors section for the kids. The Conflict History and Peace Makers sections are largely photo exhibitions or biogs. Skip the intro! (http://www.sahajeevana.org/)
- Talangama Wetlands - an escape from the polluted and crowded Colombo into rural life just 20 minutes away.
- Jungle House - a few photos added to our jungle retreat photo set.
- Colombo home - we've been having some amazing storms so I've been trying to capture the lightning. Will try harder for better shots but you can see the first attempts!
Will update the blog one of these days! Work has been so incredibly busy I've had no time to do anything. Mum was here for 6 weeks and it was great to have her stay for so long, I managed a week not working all hours to spend some time with her at the end. Sadly she left yesterday.
