Sri Lanka: Coastal Scenic near Galle; photo taken in 1983.
In the early 80’s, Sri Lanka was one of the few popular winter holiday destinations in Asia. Purpose built resorts had been built to cater for long distance, mostly, European holidaymakers. Then, in 1983, the civil war broke-out, and the tourist trade was decimated.
Title borrowed from a song by Van der Graaf.
