Hello Friends,
I captured this photograph some time ago when Sri Lanka was facing a very difficult try session due to less rain. During that period all the water reservoirs in Sri Lanka faced a great problem in managing water for agricultural activities and hydro power generation. This location, Samanalawewa Reservoir is located in Belihuloya, Sri Lanka which is a beautiful area covered with green mountains. My family visited this area and we got a opportunity to walk to the middle of the reservoir as it was totally dried.

We were lucky as we were able to witness a beautiful sunset. There were no any rain clouds in the sky, that's the reason for this red color sky which created an amazing view. It was really an unforgettable moment.

Now this reservoir is totally full of water, I don't thing no one will able to get this experience now. Imagine walking to a middle of a massive reservoir. I wish Sri Lanka may newer face a dry session like that again. Actually, I believe we can't capture the real beauty we witness by a camera, actually it was a totally different vibe with dry wind, dying son, dried out trees and environment, smell from dead fish.. it was a totally different vibe I have never experienced before. I hope you enjoyed the photographs.
Thank you.
