prison-side kerb on Bogambara pavement for 4th Kumbal listed 6:40 — hold the gap or slide toward Yatinuwara
21 Aug, camera bag, phone only, tripod stays packed. We already stood two or three Kumbal nights and mostly learned backs and umbrellas. Desk says fourth Kumbal is listed 6:40. Is Bogambara pavement the actual line tonight, or is Yatinuwara the kinder gap with an exit. First timers still in our group, no balcony budget.

Hold Bogambara pavement only if you will arrive early and sit low. 6:40 is the listed start, not a promise the first elephant is on the kerb at 6:40. Yatinuwara is a side view and an easier leave. Hold pavement; nobody reserved the street for you. I will not invent a reserved metre or a street fee.
We skipped, kept Yatinuwara, slept. Fine. Bogambara pavement will still be pavement tomorrow. 4th Kumbal listed 6:40 is not a medal.
Elder gets the seated option. Pride hunts a window and sulks with children. Hold pavement; nobody reserved the street for you.
