Koggala Oya

I'd never been into the water here, before this visit. It’s quite amazing. Supposedly the largest natural oya in the country. I don't know, but it was massive, it seems, and utterly beautiful.

Unknown said...: I was trying to find Koggala lake through Google Maps but it is not easy. I enjoyed your photo and it took me back over 60 years when I was posted to 240 Sunderland Squadron based at the Lake. I flew from there a number of times and we had to keep the water runway clear of crocs. By coincidence my father was at Matara Royal Navy Wireless Station in the early 1920s before I was born.

Pradeep Jeganathan was born and raised in Colombo, Sri Lanka, where he lives and works. He began to cook when he discovered, as an undergraduate in the US, that MacDonald's was terrible. He continued, when he realized that girls like a guy who knows to cook. After he took up photography as a hobby, he got into shooting food. He has eaten a lot of cold meals since, but he hasn't stopped, because taking a photograph, helps him remember what he's eaten. (He eats a lot, and some times, he forgets). His food photos have been published in a variety of international and Sri Lankan print magazines and web sites and his food photo/recipe columns have appeared Zero77 & Spectrum ("Achcharu") and will soon appear in Ink. He's been a featured chef on ETV's The Home Gourmet, his cooking and food photos have been the subject of a feature article in Sri Lanka's Sunday Times; his food blog has also been featured in Femina.in -- the Indian women's magazine.
