The Long March
The Long March is a study of the slow pace of life within the 16th-century World Heritage Galle Fort, which sits in quiet contrast to the adjacent bustling town. From the Dutch-colonial facades and cobblestone streets to the heritage architecture of the Maritime Precinct and the sweeping views from the ramparts, the Fort rewards photographers who are prepared to move through it deliberately.
The Long March is designed for photographers interested in heritage architecture, travel photography, street photography, and environmental portraits. The Galle Fort is one of the best-preserved colonial fortifications in Asia, and The Long March is designed to document it not just as a monument, but as a living, historical city.
