Kamala jellyfish

Jellyfish

Jellyfish like this one are regular visitors to Kamala beach at this time of year. And at about 20 inches in diameter, not fun to accidentally tread on or, worse, swim into. Gail wears full body swimwear since they seem to seek her out,  and still gets the odd sting on the wrists or ankles 🙁 Having said that, they do have a rather majestic beauty.

The Fort area of the coastal city of Galle is full of wonderful buildings dating back to the Dutch colonial era. Some have been restored, others, like this one, simply carry on. Tweaked in Photoshop using  HDR eFex Pro2
