The picturesque waterfalls of Sri Lanka will be on display this month, at Nature in Splendour 2009, when Ronali Abeywickrema, exhibits her photographic skills.
“My maiden exhibition of Sri Lankan waterfalls and landscapes was held in December last year at the Lionel Wendt art gallery. Thirty five pictures of water falls covering the Badulla, Kandy, Matale, Nuwara Eliya, Kalutara, Ratnapura and Colombo Districts were on display in addition to landscapes,” said Ronali, who is a lawyer by profession.
The island’s second highest waterfall, Kurundu Oya Falls, will be on display at this exhibition, along with other remote and rarely heard of, yet, beautiful water falls such as Kudalu and Pareiyyan Falls which cover the Moneragala District. In addition, the exhibition will also have on display, photographs of landscapes covering Ingiriya, Haldumulla and Poonagala, among many others.
“My aim is to hold Nature in Splendour annually in most of the principal towns so that people of our island will get to know the wealth, mother nature has bestowed on our tiny, but beautiful country,” she added.
Nature in splendour 2009 is to be held in Badulla, Ronali’s home town, on August 15 and 16, at the Municipal Library Auditorium, Library Road, Badulla. It will be on from 10 a.m. – 6 p.m. on Saturday and 9 a.m. – 5 p.m. on Sunday.
Entrance will be free. Photographs and CDs of the exhibits will be on sale. |
