Crane of Sri Lanka

 

Interesting clouds forming

 

Old colonial buildings from the early days

 

Norwegian Star with the back sky in the backround

 

What seems wrong with this building on the right?

 

Harbor was very close to the Fort area

 

Good colors for a maritime building

 

A tower

 

An area of mosques, temples, and churches

 

Three fishing boats

 

A brahminy kite

 

Ready to catch fish with its talons

 

Made a strike

 

Flying off with food

 

Could be a juvenile

 

Judging from the coloring

 

Watched the kite for a ½ hour

 

Crows chased it away

 

There he goes

 

Quick escape

 

Lucky sighting

 

A local tug

 

Could be a pilot boat

 

Sky was getting darker

 

Egret or heron?

 

Fishing boat

 

A very busy working port

 

Waiting for bus tours to come back

 

Still selling treasures

 

Many containers here

 

Sun will set soon

 

The gate to the outside

 

Oh boy, look at that sky

 

Something big is on the way

 

Dock workers kept loading the containers

 

Great egret

 

Waiting for the storm

 

Maybe this will head for the hills

 

Graceful in flight

 

Cruising around the ship

 

Folding up for the day

 

Wonder why?

 

Small tug

 

Birds were getting active

 

They know something is about to happen

 

Taking shelter

 

On the hunt

 

Nicer vessel

 

Tern packing a fishing line

 

Tug

 

Busy harbor

 

Here comes the rain

 

Big time rain

 

Stopped all loading

 

The best shot of lightning…..before……

 

And after….quite dark
