Heavy jungle overhangs both banks of the Sitawaka River, close to Deraniyagala, in the foothills of the Central Highlands. Shot on assignment for Serendib, the inflight magazine of Sri Lankan Airlines. My photo story, ‘In the Shadow of the Mountain of a God‘, ran in the April 2016 issue. Deraniyagala is one of the centres of Saman worship, and often a starting point for pilgrimages to Adam’s Peak, also known as Sumanakuta, or ‘Saman’s Mountain‘.

Potted jungle. Potted plants in the garden.
The recent rains have given given Colombo’s gardens new life after the weeks of hot dry weather. Sri Lanka, September 2020. A quick test shot with the M6MkII from Canon Sri Lanka before today’s walkabout in Pettah. Combined with the 55-200mm/3.5-6.3, the colours are rich and natural.
