After watching No Time To Die we went up on to the roof of One Galle Face, and on opening the door went from cool air conditioning to a balmy tropical evening; a gentle sea breeze beautifully moderated what would otherwise have been hot and sticky air and the sun was setting with spectacular clouds and a coloured hue to the sea. 

It was gorgeous, so we decided to sit for a drink and soak up the atmosphere of life returning to normal; only masks when not at a table and the presence of hand washing stations signified anything different to what we might otherwise have experienced.  Time to be mindful and enjoy the moment, with talk already indicating an island-wide lockdown for Christmas and the New Year.

The photo was taken with my Samsung S10 smartphone, the app being on manual settings so that I could control the exposure rather than have highlights burned out.  I couldn\’t lift the shadows like I would with one of my dedicated cameras but the result still embodies the occasion.
