One crazy beach boy at Galle Fort, Sri Lanka

Galle Fort is the largest intact Dutch fort in Asia. Located facing the Indian Ocean in the town of Galle, on the southern coast of Sri Lanka, Galle Fort is one of the best preserved examples of 17th century colonial fortifications in the world. I visited Galle Fort late one evening, after a very long journey from Nuwara Eliya. The light was dying as I explored the fort with a small group of AsiaExplorers members. However the atmosphere was simply irreplaceable as the lights of the town comes on, and the fort was bathed in shadows. The only sound that accompanied us was the whistling of the wind and the thunder of surf as it broke over the rocks. I stood on the bastions and watched the moon rise over the Indian Ocean.
