An Island is a body of Land surrounded by Water



The Sun sets over the Indian Ocean off Colombo



 Sunday crowds on Galle Face Green give the sun a frenzied farewell.



The same city of Galle  as approached by Chang Ho and Vasco de Gama


Boats for viewing coral reefs moored off Hikkaduwa



Sentinel rock guards the old city of Galle



The Crusoe story was modelled on Robert Knox a castaway on Ceylon in the 17th century. Thanks Terry for modelling for Crusoe on a Matara beach.




This islet called Taprobane was once the home of Paul Bowles. During last year's Galle Literary Festival I was among the guests who waded 200 yards through a waist high tide to an evening dinner entitled Sex in a Sarong to fete American author Candace Bushnell.
