EDITORS COMMENTS
In this heartwarming print captured by Thomas White, we see the pure joy and enthusiasm of Sri Lankan children playing football on the sandy shores of Unawatuna beach near Galle. The image was taken on November 29,2003, during a time when cricket fans flocked to Galle for an exciting test match between Sri Lanka and England. The vibrant energy radiating from these young players is infectious as they chase after the ball with bare feet, their laughter echoing in the salty breeze. Against the backdrop of clear blue skies and gentle waves crashing onto the shore, their carefree spirits shine through. This snapshot also serves as a testament to how tourism has flourished on this beautiful island. With an estimated 6,000 cricket enthusiasts visiting Galle over that weekend alone, local tour operators have been kept busier than ever before. The surge in visitors not only brings economic benefits but also provides opportunities for cultural exchange and mutual understanding. Thomas White's photograph captures a fleeting moment frozen in time - one that encapsulates both the innocence of childhood play and the vibrancy of Sri Lanka's coastal beauty. As we admire this image, it reminds us to cherish simple pleasures and appreciate moments shared among friends against nature's breathtaking backdrop.
