Image from my scrap book



I had a pleasant surprise when I was going through some of my old files. I found some pages of my scrap book which I used to maintain in school all scanned and placed in a folder which was well hidden.

I quite liked this page, I must have been in grade 6 when I did this - It really is a well worth journey down memory lane when such serendipitous events take place.

Lindisfarne Priory





Lindisfarne Priory on Holy Island was one of the most important centres of early Christianity in Anglo-Saxon England. It is still a place of pilgrimage today, the dramatic approach across the causeway adding to the fascination of the site.

St Aidan founded the monastery in AD 635, but St Cuthbert, prior of Lindisfarne, is the most celebrated of the priory's holy men.

Trincomalee



Sillouette of a palm tree, Trincomalee.

I have been to Trincomalee close to ten times during the times when parts of trinco were under tiger control and after.

I dont know why but there is such a magical atmosphere attached to the place, may perhaps be the slighty different atmospheric conditions like low humidity levels and the landscape, palm trees clear horizons etc. Trinco always reminds me of of Paulo Coelho's The Alchemist.

My little sister..



I took this at least five years ago with a 3.2 mega pixel point and shoot camera! Looking back i just cant fathom how i did this with a 3.2! My sister was about 7 when this was taken. I found some very old photographs and i am glad i stuck to photography over the years. When i started taking photos, like everyone else i too thought this was yet another one of my seasonal fads, glad it didnt turn out to be one :)

The Stairway to my bedroom..



I took this photograph ages ago, when i was still new to photography and flirting with an everyday point and shoot camera,(well i still use a point and shoot camera ;) Simply love this space and the way the natural light inhabits it. This is the staircase that leads to my bedroom back at home in Colombo.

Just the other day i was reading Gaston Bachelard's Poetics of Space
and i was feeling a wee bit nostalgic about this "corner" of mine at home.

for you flower lovers..



Another picture of a flower. I am not a fan of flowers at all, neither do i feel errrm ,, i loathe to say this, but neither do i feel "emotionally attached" to flowers :) but i like taking photographs of flowers with the macro option on, and the intricate details of flowers which arent exposed to the naked eye never cease to amaze me.

Me - In contemplation



The monotonous consistency of endless submissions are very frustrating, a walk to the beach nearby can be very soothing indeed, albeit the chilly spring wind.This is a sillouette of myself at Whitley Bay, Newcastle upon Tyne.
