The Chill

Not long ago, I had some really good friends of mine, Chavie and Inosh come over. Since our mid term exams and all, had finished, we really needed a break. The break was not a big one, so we decided to make the best of it. 

We did our usual trip to the beach that evening. I'm telling you, the Palliyawatta beach is getting better by the day. It's more like a big carnival now. Lots of junk food, music and what not? It's becoming more crowded each day. The setting is perfect for a good evening hang out. I would say without a doubt, it's better than many other beaches found around Colombo. The ambiance here is perfect.

With my new gadget in hand, I was able to take some neat pictures.


Here is a picture of the beach. This was taken from the pier like thing built into the sea.



This is one of the best sunsets I've come a cross. The colors, the sky, Perfect :)


This picture was taken with about 20X zoom. If you look closely, you'll be able to see a ship.


The moon showed up when we were about to leave. It was really gorgeous. The colors were very contrasting.

I'd say it was a perfect day. It couldn't have got better. Although I still wish my friends Yujith and Heshan joined us that day. Looking forward for the next time I'll get to chill out at the beach.

Hope you enjoyed the post,
Cheers!

  5. cool pics!
    The beaches can be enjoyed in two states ...one where its secluded and you can hear only the waves and the gulls...and the other with a lot of people, food and music....love both but inbetween state sucks ;)
    love the last pic a LOT. its so crisp and clear.

  9. You're right! The colors in the sky are amazing... Great pics!!!

    Personally, i always prefer the empty secluded beaches. I usually wander off alone, miles away from the hubbub. Occasionally, i've discovered that it wasn't the safest decision, but God has always watched over me.

    My husband said it's because i'm antisocial, but the truth is i feel it's almost like a stolen moment - a special gift, just for me. :) Who knows if or when i'll have the opportunity again, or how long those opportunities will be available?

    Great post!!

    Yeah, I agree both empty and crowded beaches are cool in some way. Although, I prefer much quieter beaches, with very less people. I say, you make the best of every opportunity you get. Thank you for your wonderful comments as all ways. I really appreciate it.

  13. Hey Shak, Thanks a lot buddy, The first Photo shows a lot of people! That is the way a beach should be. But the way I remember this beach, it was us and the fisher folks. I remember those jetty like structures built, I think for protecting the beach from rough waters.
    Lovely sunsets and the Moon! Thanks for sharing!
