Tile Factory

Many of the traditional buildings in Sri Lanka have attractive pantilled roofs, reminiscent of those in parts of continental Europe and, closer to me, 19th century cottages in East Lothian.

I understand that these Sri Lankan factories use coconut husks as a fuel for making the tiles, and perhaps the mud is collected locally in the calm lagoonal waters.

Music advertising this little Bread Van drew my attention to it, as we travelled along the Dutch canal near Negombo.
