In Galle Fort, time doesn't pass by (at least that is what I felt during my visit). The Fort or the old rampart has a unique beauty to it. The colonial architecture, still elegant in its form adds an aesthetic aura to the atmosphere around. Wandering in and around the Galle Fort made me reminisce how the city's beauty have been described in some of the books I read. And this is Galle Fort, from my third eye (Tried my best to do justice to capture the beauty of the grandeur city).

Bet these would have many interesting stories in them. Old files from a deserted Notary's office. |
