Sri lanka - Part four

The title of this blog should have been "Escape from the cyclone Ditwah" That is what we felt like after landing in Mumbai. The previous night itself looked very ominous as I looked out of my hotel window.

Not being able to view the Lotus tower and heading straight to the airport was a blessing in disguise.

That way we were in time for the flight.
We took a halt on the beach road near Galle Face Hotel. The palm leaves will give you a general idea of the wind speed.

Not far from the Taj Samudra Hotel I got to see some birds who were busy fishing in the sluice spillover point. Managed to capture a painted stork in flight as I was clicking the Lotus tower.

Got another one with the painted stork in the forefront.

You can see the other birds in the video. Notice the silver feet of this crane?
