As I write this post, I’m sitting in the Thai Airways departure area of Bangkok’s Suvarnabhumi Airport. I’m finished with work in Sri Lanka, and am heading back to California. The last batch of images that I will share from my Asia Foundation shoot, is from Pettah Market, Fort railway station and Gangaramaya Temple in Colombo.<\/p>\n

Pettah market is Colombo’s largest market, where anything and everything can be purchased. I concentrated on the fruit and vegetable area, but there is lot’s more to be seen.<\/p>\n

Fort railway station is Colombo’s main train station. Both are interesting places to visit and the kind, friendly and welcoming Sri Lankans are excited to see a foreigner showing interest in their activities.<\/p>\n

Finally, a few images from Gangaramaya Temple; a small but interesting Buddhist temple in the heart of Colombo.<\/p>\n

I hope you enjoy these images…<\/p>\n
