EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, an air force officer stands tall and proud, holding the Sri Lanka national flag as the sun gracefully sets at Galle Face Green in Colombo. The image was captured on February 2,2013, just two days before the country's 65th Independence Day celebration. The low angle view showcases the officer's silhouette against a picturesque backdrop of dusk. As the vibrant colors of orange and red fill the sky, they beautifully complement both the flag and its bearer. The flag waves gently in the wind, symbolizing patriotism and unity. Surrounded by a crowd of unrecognizable people, this moment captures not only a military presence but also an atmosphere of faith and solidarity among Sri Lankans. It is a demonstration of their love for their country and their commitment to protecting it. The open space of Galle Face Green provides an ideal setting for such events. With its urban cityscape seen through nature's lens, it offers a serene environment where people can come together to celebrate important occasions like Independence Day. This photograph by Dinuka Liyanawatte is more than just a visual representation; it encapsulates emotions - pride, beauty in nature - as well as signifies hope for a brighter future.
