Related PostsJaffna Eclipse Soon A brief solar eclipse will pass through Jaffna this Friday. Taking the bus up there to check it out. Jaffna is the new destination, full of political candidates and all and sundry. I have never been and for much of my life considered it off limits. This is a place with LTTE memorials, where last election the LTTE forced a boycott. But now the road is open and, god willing, Jaffna can take its place The A9 The A9 is a strange, mythical road. I have never been past Vavuniya, till yesterday. I've also never gone without a fistful of Ministry Of Something paperwork and a heart full of trepidation. This time we hopped a really nice bus in Wellawatte, went through one checkpoint and saw a bunch of crazy stuff along the way. The Sinhalese Visit Jaffna I'm wading up to my neck off Casuarina beach. Mainly trying to get away. Indirectly from Colombo, but directly from the 700 Sinhalums on this here beach. Last time I was the only one here. Now there are so many people that they emit a loud murmur, punctuated by hoots and screams. In the evening this Jaffna beach actually kinda sucks, the water is grey and we hobble in and out, stabbing our feet on Jaffna Portraits Everybody in Jaffna is nice and glad to see you. The scene just opened up this year really, no curfew, roads, beaches, whatever. There's less tangible security presence than Colombo now and we've been stopped at exactly zero checkpoints. These are some photos of people from Jaffna town and Point Pedro. Some of the Colombians I came with, but some of the kind locals who've been showing us around. Tamilian Dialog Girl In Jaffna they seem to have used the same Dialog girl and photoshopped a pottu and jewelry onto here. And voila, Tamil Dialog girl. I'm pretty sure the Tigo girl in Wellawatte (Anne) is not Tamil either, but at least the costume is real. I found the photoshopping quite funny. Not offensive or anything, just patently odd. It is expensive to get model clearance again, but for the amount of business they're going to do |
beyond awesome.
Hope Grahm is ok..
Cool.. I heard it was especially auspicious in India because of the Kumbh Mela… apparently the best spot to watch it was in the Maldives.
Mate, here are some photos from a rooftop in Colombo.

Wishing I came up to Jaffna though, because we didnt get to see the full annular down here.
the ‘R’ on the spine ?
Thanks. Was it worth a trip?
Ooooh. How clever.
Hope your retina is okeh :)
Ooh, it was an annular eclipse? Even better.
Absolute Awesomeness!!
Thanks for sharing.
I really wanted to see some good pictures of the eclipse :)
I saw the perfect photos of the eclipse, taken with special equipment by the Uni of moratuwa staff, from Kytes. Indi’s eclipse through the skull are way more interesting.
Oh – you are so sexy hanging 10 in Jaffna – man I’m sure the locals just love you!
Ooooh, hope your retina is okay
lol, I took photos thru an old xray too! :D my eyes started hurting after that… :D
