I was away in Sri Lanka last week together with a few friends. We spent time in the southern tip of the country at a place called Matara for one night. The next morning, we drove up to the capital city of Sri Lanka, Colombo.

No point to be hurry, might as well enjoy the breathtaking views along the coastal road. On that day, we decided to put up a night somewhere in the town called Ambalangoda. Prior to reaching the place, we stopped over to capture fishermen and their boats as they are busy preparing to go to the sea. In the picture, it's an image captured at the beach in Weligama.

Have a nice day folks!

Name: Snake bean, long bean, yard-long bean, asparagus bean Vigna
unguiculata ssp. Sesquipedalis (Leguminosae)

Origin: While native to East and South-east Asia the snake bean probably
originated in South China.

Distribution: The snake bean is found throughout Asia being one of the
most important vegetables in this region. It can now be found throughout
the tropical and sub-tropical world. It is importance in the Caribbean is
increasing.

But then, the flower doesn't look much like a snake yet. Pretty soon, the sprout of bean will snake out from it to look like snake bean as it should be. And it is also known as long bean.

Have a good day my friends

This is captured at a small town called Bahau, located in the state called Negeri Sembilan. The place is around two hours drive from the city center of Kuala Lumpur.

Have a good day ahead folks!

This is shot from between the tiers of a jetty after a boat docked.

Happy Chinese New Year to all my Chinese friends, and have a nice day to the rest of you!

This is the only shot I managed to take before the crow took a flight. I wish I could take a few more shots from different angles but he was not too happy seeing me around with a camera in hands. I chose to have it converted to Black & White to add some dramatic elements to this makeshift jetty and thought the crow was just nice to be there to make character for the image.

Have a nice week ahead folks!
