[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
In this photo you see a traditional Sri Lankan fisherboat. The owner is sitting behind it (by the small house).
For the tourists they call it a 'Catamaran', so you can rent a catamaran including captain, for a ride.

By the way: that small house behind the boat is NOT made of wood; they make these houses with cocos leaves.

Hallo Joop.
Lekking bootje zeg. Daar kan je de wereld mee rond im 80 dagen, toch?
Ik wist niet dat boten ook camourflagie kleuren hadden, eigenlijk niet zo gek, ivm onderzeeërs.
Mooie foto, goed gevangen.
Groeten van Jan

mooie opname wel is de boot aan een opknapbeurt toe!

Wat heerlijk ongecompliceerd kan het zijn he....
vergelijk dit maar eens met onze vissersbootjes....... en dan met de vissersschepen...
Prachtig!

Prachtig Joop, de hele foto, maar mijn oog valt vooral op het zand, daar wil ik zo met mijn blote voeten doorheen lopen.
En wat je allemaal niet met de cocospalm kan doen...

Hi Joop

Nice shot of this traditional scene. You have framed it well and you have a nice low POV. Lovely textures and nice natural colours.

Hi Joop,
This brings back memories. Hikkaduwa was where my father was born and I spent countless hours on that stretch of the beach that you took this photo. I am glad to see that some kind of normalcy has returned to this place which was devastated by the December 2004 Tsunami.

Hi Joop,
terrific shot,
Nice looking old boat,
Lovely colors,
i have done a WS hope you like it,
TFS..
