seriously though, i hate to be so un-patriotic but one thing that really annoys me about lovely Australia is the gum trees, they're just so dull and grey and drop nuts everywhere... urgh
small and not-so-good picture of one tinsy section of Peredenia university - it was so spacious and massive and beautiful!! And green and wet and tropical...
taken at some weird-named national park - absolutely hated that place cos' there were leeches everywhere! i spent the entire walk through jumping up and down, the only time i paused was to take this picture... so disgusting though i felt like they might be crawling up the side of my tights on the way back and at the nearest stop i had to hop off and check. anyway, this picture is quite significant cos it shows the other side of the country as it's immense beauty is cancelled out by the treacherous war that prevails. quite pissed off that there were a lot of places would've loved to go to (i.e. Trincomalee beach) but couldn't cos bombs had been going off there and twas too dangerous.
double-exposed fiddling - me in the trees by the looks of it, not my best angle eh?
Darren with a buffalo carcass for a head - we found this while randomly stopped in midst of Udawalawe national park (we were staying in a bungalow there) probably wasn't very hygienic to touch... not like a relic in a museum or anything. also picture probs would've worked better if there wasn't a hand there holding it up!
random rest stop on the way to Colombo or Kandy (dunno which one we travelled between the two so often!) and the transport there is so annoying, the roads are complete with potholes, dogs, cats, cows, buses going too fast and beeping loudly, you name it - and there's no 'right' side of the road - everyone just goes where they please, it's hell. what would take about an hour or two in Aus to travel would take 5hours there.
i don't quite know where the building is from in the back of this picture... or the trees for that matter, just mucking around with double exposure again ..
this one's pretty cool, we were along side this lake at the national park and i took a photo of it then turned the camera upside down and took the same photo, surprised it turned out so symmetrical though! it was an exquisite lake too - quite grey with dead trees rising out of it here and there.
on the road as part of our daily safari adventures, one of the best parts of sri lanka - we always got to stand up in the back of this massive jeep and get chased by elephants. if you can see, there's one just behind that 4wd there, actually i think it's 2 - a mum and it's kiddo.
and this elephant wasn't particularly nice and totally tried to kill us ... it flung mud at us and yelled a bit, but our tracker guy held out his hand and said something in sinhalese loudly and the elephant just turned it's back and walked off. that was just weird, i suppose it's something to do with asserting authority..
