Along the sun-kissed southern coast of Sri Lanka, a wonderful tradition that has endured the centuries stands waiting,
the stilt fishing tradition. The ancient tradition of fishing in this way, once a familiar sight along the island’s shores, is
these days an uncommon and precious sight, practiced only by a dedicated few who carry on the tradition of the past.
As the sun colors the sea to gold and amber, the fishermen sit graciously on tall wooden stilts firmly planted in shallow

water, casting their lines with quiet patience that bespeaks great respect for sea and commerce.
