Sri Lanka, the Traveller’s Triple Gem.

Sri  (Shri)  : Holy  /  Lanka  :  Shining

Small in size, big in sense, Sri Lanka holds its own traveler’s triple gem  : Nature, Culture, People.
A powerful and luxuriant NATURE with a wide diversity of scenic landscapes and fascinating wild animals (elephants, bears, leopards, crocodiles, monitor lezards, monkeys…).
A deep and noble CULTURE, rooted in spiritual moral values.
A beautiful PEOPLE, with eyes that smile and open your heart.

Sri Lanka is a dream destination for many travellers : photographers, couples and families, nature and animal lovers, buddhist pilgrims or spiritual seekers. Whether coming for its landscapes, its cultural and spiritual interests or its nature and widlife, Sri Lanka fulfils everyone!

The ideal dimensions of the island make it easy to explore and discover the main places of interest in a couple of weeks only. At least to a get a good sample of the country already.
The Nature is absolutely well-balanced between beautiful central hills and exotic tropical coasts.
Its strong cultural identity and spiritual heritage is infused with omnipresent buddhist values, though co-existing with an ancient Indian culture and religion too.
Then, it has an enthralling population of wild animals that has been relatively well preserved from trading and killing, because of its fervent buddhist beliefs.
And above all, the warmth and gentleness of its people are good reasons to stay longer in the country. Careful, thoughtful, respectful and generous, Sri Lankan people could be yet, the main appeal of this special island.

So, from a Photographer’s perspective about an interesting collection of Sri Lanka photos : both Portraits and Street Photography are real delights. Actually, in addition to a captivating Landscape and Wildlife Photography, Sri Lanka is one of these complete and perfect destinations for Travel Photography.
