The City of Light

David BlackerLeave a comment
The photograph is of the southern entrance to the city of Nuwara Eliya, via a bridge over Lake Gregory, which was created in 1873, when Sir William Gregory ordered the damming of the Thalagala Stream, flooding the swamps at the southern end of the valley. Shot on assignment for Serendib, the inflight magazine of Sri Lankan Airlines. My story, ‘The Nuwara Eliya Season in Spring‘, runs in the April 2017 issue.
