Walk Along The Galle Face Green

The Galle Face Green is but a few blocks north of our apartment. It was a popular place for families to hang out, fly kites and relax and then it was closed during the war. It has since reopened but I don't think it gets the crowds that it used to get as I heard that thousands of people would come here. We get a good view of The Green from our apartment roof as well.
We used to go for a daily morning walk on The Green but sadly there is so much trash it just disappoints us and we now only go there now and then.
Here are some pictures I took. Some when I first arrived and some yesterday.
