Sri Lankan's Seen (100 Years ago) in Sri Lanka

A collection of Photographs taken during British Colonial Era (1815-1948) downloaded using Internet. With profound thanks to photographers (Expatriates for sure) , we are able to view how Sri Lanken Towns, Historical Places had been before 100 years ago. They wouldn't have expected an "Internet Era" to distribute their valuable efforts which we are in now. Lets View, conserve and pass them for our next Generations

Nice to see such sharp old pictures. I notice the less crowded streets than in our days. Especially without the extremely violent and dangerous busdriver who in my eyes ruin this island every day with their dirty engines, extreme noise 24/7/7 and reckless driving. So these pictures show me where all that society comes from, not so long ago. Technical progress has obviously also very negative impact in such societies. Not only in Ceylon.. but there it is more obvious today.

@NicolasPeucelle - Thank you Mr. Nicolas for you comments and concern over our beautiful contry Sri Lanka. It seems that you are familier with Sri Lankan Life. When we look through "Buddhist Glasses", the physical growth / development is associated with greed/lust which is not benificial to "Nirvana" -( State of being free from suffering)

We get slated for alot of stuff we did in the past, with many accusations that we were only interested in ourselves but tell me, how many other countries invested so much in infrastructure and other areas in the own lands, let alone places the other side of the world?

The world would be less progressive place if it wasn't for the British.

Sri Lanka looks a beautiful.
