Sunset in the Knuckle Mountains
The Knuckle Mountain Range in central Sri Lanka is part of Sri Lanka’s spectacular hill country. The climate is perfect for tea growing and where we stayed at Rangala we were surrounded by plantations. This shot is a short time exposure taken well after the sun had set.

Kamala 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.

Welcome to the revamped dgcPhoto site, complete with a new theme and a new look.
I’ve been rather busy with other things for a while, so I thought a makeover was more than overdue. I hope you like it.
In many ways, the site is the same as before except that with the new theme it’s easier to navigate and more efficient to load. And the layout is far cleaner.
I’m currently using two cameras: the truly excellent Canon 90D I bought several months ago that is streets ahead of any other camera I’ve owned over the years, and a Canon 100D that I’ve had for a couple of years — a really lightweight little workhorse. I am also using my iPhone SE far more than I expected. The latest OS makes it an incredibly versatile camera.
Keep checking out the galleries; the old ones have been reinstalled and new ones are being added.
What were the ‘other things’?
Check out ‘My Novels’ here or in the menu above where a couple of clicks will take you to the world of ClarkeFiction and details of my seven edge-of-the-seat thriller novels and my wife Gail’s wonderful fully illustrated children’s books.
