Sri Lanka by iPhone

I’m finally catching up on some of my posting… Earlier this year I was in Southeast Asia and had the occasion to travel through Sri Lanka. It’s a tiny but beautiful country situated at the very southern tip of India. Even though a narrow strip of Indian Ocean separates the two nations, it feels worlds apart from it’s neighbor. Boasting lush jungles, incredible beaches, rich culture and history, large populations of wild animals (including elephants and leopards), and a unique and tasty cuisine, this is one of my new favorite destinations. Determined to spend as much time exploring and discovering as I could, I often left my big DSLRs in the camera case and snapped photos for a “visual diary” with my iPhone 4 and an app called Hipstamatic. Be sure to check out more photographs from Sri Lanka (shot on the big DSLRs) on jacerivers.com coming soon.
