Living in Kuwait has its advantages, even though there are not that many. One of the biggest ones is its location and its near proximity to Europe, Asia or being positioned in the centre of Middle east. I use this opportunity to get around as often as I can. So when the Eid al-Fitr (Islamic feast to mark the end of Ramadan - the month of fasting in the Muslim world) came I decided to spend those days in Sri Lanka (which marked the 70th country I've visited so far), which is only bit more than 4 hours direct flight far away.

Sri Lanka is a green paradise and it was a welcome change to see all the greenery around me. One of the things that caught my eye was open shower close to each of many waterfalls along the way. Anyone can come over with piece of soap and use this free facility.

I hope that this shot will add some human aspect to my portfolio.

interesting picture! really interesting place for a shower.

it would have looked cool if you were able to get a slightly longer exposure of the water, but then again the guys probably would have moved and it would have been blurry.

i really like this shot though, well done.

Beautiful light and nice composition here.. Well done! Regards, Doug

Hi Lucie,

seems that you´re a perfect traveller and a perfect photographer, simply a perfect TE-Member !
70 countries, that´s a lot!
I like this one very much, it has a wonderful light, long exposure, and a nice rhythm due to the repetition of the main theme.
Congratulations and don´t work so much !
Cheers from Austria, ris

Very interesting and beautiful shot! The natural, outdoor shower is quite unusual to my northern eyes. I like the smoothing effect from the long exposure, and of course the twin falls always introduces the possibility of comparing and contasting the two of them. I think the light in this is really good too, with the rock ledges being lit only on the edge, while the rest of the rock is dark, creating a lot of contrast and a very striking appearance. Nicely done!

Hi Lucie,

Nice capture, well spotted action shot, TFS

Hi Lucie! So another one for your roll of visited countries. Nice shot here. A bit - well, a lot - different from your usual posts. I like the scene, although the water as slight blue cast you could easily have corrected. But the contrast between the shadowed rocks against the strong lit waterfalls are really nice. I like it. Now I want to see some breathtaking landscapes from Sri Lanka.

Hi Lucie,
Long time no see.
Nice work and POV. Good colors as well.
Well done. Congratulation.
Cheers from Hong Kong.

Hi Lucie,
The image does have a nice human element to it, and although taking a shower to most of us is a mundane excercise, this picture puts it in a different light. These to men seem to be enjoying the experience, and the lighting you've captured looks as if they have a spotlight focused onto them. Your shutter speed has captured nice movement in the spray. Unlike you, I stayed in Dubai for Eid, but I agree with you, our location on the map helps with travel.
Cheers Grant

Nice picture. The two showers seem two light spots in the dark background. A good composition.
