Seeing this lush environment makes it hard to believe #srilanka is suffering from severe drought at the moment. Some cities have had to close off public water services for 36 hours this week. The #monsoon is long overdue... #climatechange #climate #rain #water #drought #dry #agriculture #heat #tissalake #shortageofwater #nature #travel #explore #staywild #nomad (bij Tissa Lake)

It's breeding season for the #leopards of #yalanationalpark in #srilanka That's why most of the park is closed. After a very early rise, I was lucky enough to catch these two courting each other in the early morning coolness. #letsgetiton #leopard #wildlife #nature #bigcats #safari #wildlifephotography #photooftheday #photo #cats #catsofinstagram #travel #explore #staywild #nomad (bij Yala National Park -Sri Lanka)
