Padda Boats on the Negombo Canal Old Dutch Canal. The 100km long canal network running through the town is still used, and outrigger canoes and modern water-craft ply this route daily, for trade and tourist purposes. Date: Early 1900’s Photographer/Publisher: Unknown Location: Negombo Canal, Sri Lanka (Ceylon)
In 1950s I travelled to primary school with my two elder sisters in a very similar cart. Carts of this kind always parked at railway stations as taxis, even in a place like Gampaha.
All I can say is pictures are amazing.
feel like to go back to the Gold age
