Colombo in bloom
As the country enters the Sinhala and Tamil New Year under the cloud of the COVID-19 outbreak, Colombo’s streets that would normally be teeming with last minute New Year shoppers are completely deserted. Nature however, is putting on a spectacular show.
Flowers of all colours and types are in full bloom everywhere in the city. While this is the season for most flowers, it may well be that a lack of vehicles and resultant pollution on the city’s streets too is having an effect. The past few weeks have been filled with fear, uncertainty and despair. Yet, even amid all the doom and gloom, the sight of flowers in all their bright colours show just how amazing nature can be.
Given the current situation in the country and much of the world, all of us could do with a little brightness in our lives.
