Take an unforgettable journey through the fascinating island of Sri Lanka. The Color of Serendipity is a visually breathtaking photo essay of over a decade of travel.

There is emotion in faces, nostalgia in places, and serenity in the wilderness. All of this is immersed in dynamic colors - colors that beckon to seek its hidden yet vibrant energy. The bellowing energy is only too real in the ancient winds that blow through the remains of the monumental abodes in political centers of the past. Yet it is the energy that flames out of the faces of the descendents of once powerful dynasties and their subjects that resonates the spirit of a colorful people. The land from its beaches to the mountain tops convolutes a depth of unimaginable proportion for an island of its size. The island's variety of cultural and natural heritage is phenomenal.

Paddy grass dances about in the wind following the monsoon season. Glowing priceless gems spring forth from the ground. Gorgeous sunsets bring everyday to a climatic end. Charming hamlets scattered about carry on age old traditions. Warm smiles and a culturally rich society greet visitors with unsurpassed hospitality.
