Notredame

The Notredam Cathedral, I know about this Cathedral because of Disney. There is an excellant Animated movie 'the hunchback of Notredame'. Where the Hunchback helps the women he loves escape with Man she loves ( does it make sense :) )

Gustav Eiffel

The first impression of Eiffel from Boat cruise at river siene. Had to wait for some time to click the image so that I could capture the tower with the train passing by.

It is said that when the Eiffel was completed it was supposed to be the ugliest structure in Paris. Critics used to say that best way to enjoy Paris was to have a dinner in the restaurant on Eiffel as that is the only place from which the eiffel is not visible.

Windmill Village

Called as the windmill village by local tour operators the Village was really beautiful. The striking thing was everything was painted green.

Sheep Farm

Thanks for visiting the blog.

Took this photo on our wales trip, what you see in the background is no modern industry but a sheep farm with a granary.

The Big Ben

Shot in London near River Thames.
Not very good at my geography ,I always thought that Big Ben was in US (excuse my GK).
When my wife told me that this Big Ben, I actually thought of debating her then left it at that. The architecture is amazing . Guy Fawkes tried to blow the parliament which you can see in the bacjground.

This clock has really amazing history to read about, click here to know more

Harvest Inn

This is the harvest inn in prospect park . Seems to be a mansion of a wealthy owner turned into a restaurant. The coffee here was quite good considering the day was sunny and the chairs were arranged in the verandah.

Lot of couples were seated enjoying the late afternoon sun

Naval College

This Image was clicked on our way to Royal observatory in Greenwich. This is the Naval College.
The college campus is amazingly beautiful and full of greenery . Even at a dull day like this it was colorful.

Shot this while trekking in Reading going towards prospect park.

The sky is always overcast these days so cant avoid the bad lighting condition. The HDR comes handy in these situations.

Many people still think that HDR is a processing and makes image unreal. But somewhere I wish my camera had HDR as my eyes. Many camera comapnies are investing in HDR equipment and I am sure a day is not far when we have cameras as good as our eyes.

Reading@night

This is reading town centre at night. The river is river Kennet. Reading is great town for night outs. This is riverside of the Famous shopping mall Oracle.

fake london

No, it is not a scale model of london. It is a original photograph clicked from London eye. Fake is that it is not a model but made to look like one using tilt and shift technique not of lens (tilt and shift lens..very costly) but a photoshop trick. You can find all about it here

Windsor

The Second home of British Monarchy, apart from Buckingham palace this is the place where the queen and his kin spend time. The third is the Edinburgh castle in Scotland.

There was obviously a charge to see how the queen lives-17 pounds. The best part about the trip was audio guides, these are small handy device which work on rfid technology, you just reach the place and press the play button to listen to the history of particular place, as many times as you want.
