A
self-playing
(safe)
PowerPoint of some amazing old pictures of old
Ceylon.
Here is an example. Click on that image or on the link above.
This is NOT my work, nor do the pictures belong to me,
though I would think any copyright
has long expired. The last slide says that this PowerPoint was
compiled by 'Henry Dullewe,' in
Canada. I do not know him. His contact information is on the slide.
My father forwarded this
presentation to me today, Feb. 26, 2011, and he got it from a 'Don
Goonasekera.' I do not
know him either, but I do have his e-mail. I will let him know
about this link.
I got
these pictures (below) from a cousin quite a few years
ago (like 2003 or 2004). No idea who took
them or when.
Occurred
to me that I should at a minimum preserve them on the
Web so that others can get access to them.
If you
put the cursor on top of any of the pictures in the
gallery you should see the title of each picture on your
status bar (at the bottom). If you click on any
picture, you will see the its title on the Browser title
bar (right at the top; left hand side).
[If you don't have a status bar, you will need to go up
to "View" and click on 'status bar'.]
If you
know anything about any of these pictures drop me an
e-mail.
Many
thanks.
Pictures
of Kandy from (at least) 100 years ago
Got these
pictures, on July 5, 2011, from another cousin(-in-law)
in Sri Lanka. He sent them in an e-mail that just said
"Kandy 100 Years Ago -- Very Valuable Pictures".
So I am
yet again trying to preserve them. I do not claim any
ownership or copyright to these pictures either --
though I am sure that whatever copyright they had has
long expired.

A picture pained by me, in July
1960, when I was approaching 7 years in age, showing
a political rally -- and I think that I am showing my
father on stage talking. For those that know, it is very
easy to see what party is represented and I even show
Mrs. Bandaranayake in her car with her hair in a bun!
[Yes, she was Aunty Bandaranayake and I knew her well.
Even spoke with her most days.]
