![Only a very few of us can truly relate to this genre of music. This was a free gig that was open to anyone and everyone. Given that there were 2 other events happening in Colombo and Mount Lavinia, we ended up having this hardcore fans who enjoyed the fraternity on a Saturday evening. 

The only venue the rock community can get these days. But seems like this would be the last few concerts that we get to do here. The government is renovating the place, so they say. Till then we need to find another location.](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/869/eeba4745-48a2-4283-9eac-acdb746328c4.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=1040&h=580&q=mediumHigh)

![Beira lake is situated just 1km away from the heart of Colombo. It has been one of the top tourist destinations in the commercial capital, Colombo as Gangarama Temple is located just next to Beira lake. I really recommend this place for you who are visiting Sri Lanka. Other than the religious background, it's a great place to capture some water birds as well.  ](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/869/6340bfbc-8d64-4424-9cd6-7f94e4cc1967.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=1040&h=580&q=mediumHigh)

![Beira lake is situated just 1km away from the heart of Colombo. It is such a beautiful place due to the Gangaramaya temple and it's wildlife both. This pelican is trying to catch something to eat. It is really fun to have a close look at these birds. ](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/869/ec4e2374-ce9f-4471-87ee-4a0c72fbb75e.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=1040&h=580&q=mediumHigh)
