මහාචාර්ය Bernd Friedrichs මහතාගේ ලංකා සවාරියේ මෙන්න ඉතුරු පින්තුර ටික මෙන්න.

එක පාර ඔක්කොම දාන්න බැරි නිසා මේකේ පින්ටුරත් කොටස් දෙකකට පොස්ට් කරන්නේ.. එකේ කතරගම ලස්සන පොටෝ ටිකක් තියනවා.
මේ ජර්මන් ජාතික Prof. Dr.-Eng. Bernd Friedrichs මහතා වර්ෂ 1988 ලංකවේ කරපු සංචාරක ලස්සන පින්තුර වගයක්. මේ පින්තුර එතුමාගේ වෙබ්සයිට් අඩවියෙන් ලබා ගත්ත ඒවා.

These pictures are from a vacation trip in 1988 to the west coast of Sri Lanka,. When taking pictures from the interior of the country, of street scenes, the living conditions of the population, the social conditions, the influence of Buddhism, the tourist infrastructure, it must be taken into account that now, after more than 30 years, the conditions may have changed significantly. That was my first trip outside of Central Europe and I was deeply impressed: - by the omnipresent musty humidity, much harder to bear than dry heat, - by the possible dangers (infections, snakes, diarrhea, colds, injuries from falling in surf), - by the openness and interest of the people (incidentally in stark contrast to the total secrecy that was later experienced everywhere in Morocco and Egypt), - by the friendliness towards the (supposedly rich) tourists, for example, being photographed is an honor for everyone, - often degenerating into annoying begging, - but what impressed and shocked me most was the incredible difference in living standards and lifestyle. The question of how our prosperity and luxury is justified in view of this has occupied me for a long time, but today I have a different view on it: not all the evils in the world are the fault of the "West". Because of the civil war between the Sinhalese and Tamils at that time, the entire north and east of the island were inaccessible to tourism.

සුද්දෝ ෂට් නැතුව යන්නේ. දැන් නම් එහෙම යන්න දෙන්නේ නැ නේද??
දැන් ගන්න දෙන්නේ නැති පින්තුර
A steel spiral staircase leads to a rock overhang with frescoes of bare-breasted women (cloud girls). As I write this 30 years later, I read online that taking photos of the frescoes is now strictly prohibited.

Production of bricks without any machinery: Clay is pressed in an open mold, then stored to dry with protection from the rain. Is there any further firing?
On the way to Ratnapura
After the sightseeing tour and fending off the pushy gemstone sellers, it's time for lunch: there are cutlery for tourists. The Sinhalese eat with their right hand... we are very inhibited about putting our fingers in rice, meat and sauce.
Fish market in Beruwela at early dawn
ගාල්ලේ සවුත්ලන්ඩ් බාලිකාවේ කෙල්ලෝ
Jeep safari in Yala National Park, a 1500km2 nature reserve: Everyone is waiting for the appearance of the wild elephants:
These pictures from the national park are very grainy: I used a Kodachrome 400 with exposure at ISO 800 and 2x pushing. Chemical photography was a bit more complicated than today, my EOS 5D only gets into this graininess/noise range at ISO 6400. Our jeep driver didn't get closer than about 50m to the marsh crocodile:
