Old light-house, Pesalai, Mannar, Sri Lanka.

 




This is an old light house claimed to be dating back dating back to ?Portuguese times - 16th Century. You can see that the top of the light house is flat. Firewood was hauled up and lighted there, to warn away ships from the treacherous shoals off shore. I took this photo when I was working in Mannar in 2004. 

Tissa Kappagoda did a water-color of this picture. He told me that he sold the painting in the USA for US$250/=
