-2020 update: Had to remove photos due to technical issue (site where I had uploaded them went down)- will try to restore -
This post shares a set of photos taken at Colombo beach area…
Sunset in Colombo, as seen from the beach area…
View of the beach from Observation deck
Military personnel conducted what seemed to be their daily routine- lowering the National Flag and folding it respectfully
Further in the ocean, a ship was sailing. Subsequent zooming revealed that it was a cruise ship carrying tourists on board. It went for a small round in the Indian ocean and then returned towards the port area.
An observer on a watch tower kept watch, under a flag which I couldn’t understand what… Looked like the Karnataka state flag inversed…
Just like Indian beaches, petty shops and hawkers to exist in Colombo beach, doing brisk business during the weekend evenings.
An air force base was present nearby
