The explosion on April 21 lost sri Lanka, known as the "pearl of the Indian Ocean", to its former tranquility, but when I returned from Sri Lanka, my mind was still full of the busy life of Sri Lankans. The bustling scene of the Negombo fish market before the explosion is still vividly remembered.
Negombo is a fishing village, there are two fish markets, one in the city center and one in the outskirts, we went to the outer fish market, which is recognized as a paradise for humanistic photography. Although it is a little dirty, it is the most authentic portrayal of human fireworks.
In order to see the fish market, we rushed over before dawn, the fish market has long been lively, the huge fishing boats have returned from fishing, and the beach is crowded with fishermen and traders. The sound of trading one after another, the busy figures of fishermen, the big fish and small fish that are still jumping around... The whole beach boiled over.
There is no middleman to profit from it, fishermen directly on the beach to start selling, simple cement platform can be slaughtered live fish, fish market is full of a strong smell of blood, but because the fish here is particularly fresh, the price is not expensive, many locals including tourists like to buy, the only regret is to go early, wait until more than eight o'clock in the morning, fresh fish sold out.
Sri Lanka is surrounded by the ocean, Negombo's fish market is built on the seashore, for friends who love fish, the fish here is both fresh and delicious, but also very cheap, dozens of dollars is a seafood feast, and for photography enthusiasts, this place that exudes a strong atmosphere of life is the most ideal choice to press the shutter.
