Autumn in London

2011-12-06T14:38:00.001-08:00

Hyde Park - Early Nov2011. Since Oct, I was just searching for locations around Woking to catch Autumn colors. I was new to UK and was asking friends and colleagues, but did not get a convincing answer. I also tried Westonbirt Arboretum for their Oct event, but was hugely disappointing as colors had not started (maybe not as much as I expected) even when the website claimed it had. So, come Nov, I had given up hope and thought I had missed Autumn in UK.
It was unexpected landing at Hyde park, which turned out to be a pleasant surprise.

Lower Ben Nevis Falls

2011-11-28T13:54:00.001-08:00

Lower Ben Nevis Falls - The last pit stop in our Scotland Trip. We visited Ben Nevis - the highest mountain of the British Isles. The cloudy day did not bless us with views of the mountain, however the drive around the cloud-hidden mountain was as spectacular - unspoilt meadows and streams. The last stop was this lower Ben Nevis falls.

The Humble and Proud

2011-11-27T02:22:00.001-08:00

In perspective with nature - makes me feel how small and miniature we are. At the same time its a proud feeling to see how we are surviving the forces. Its a more sad feeling of how we are exploiting our gifts making our own environment and living spaces so unlivable.

A Dream Setting

2011-11-25T15:04:00.001-08:00

Somewhere in Lake District National Park - A dream house at base of mountains, such peace and calm ... I can hear the wind whispering.

Back to Basics

2011-11-24T11:42:00.001-08:00

Landscape overlooking the Ullswater lake - Sometime in Oct2011, we did a drive around the Lake District. This was the first lake we stopped by and had our breakfast. It was a very nice morning and peaceful time to spend at the banks of the lake overlooking the mountains on the other side. The crisp sunlight reflected the bright green mountains. Watching people enjoying the hike on this beautiful day made me think of going back to basics of life and enjoy nature.

Standing Tall

2011-10-29T00:44:00.000-07:00

The Glenfinnan Monument of anonymous Scottish highlander stands tall in midst of the mountains and lochs. It is located just opposite the National Trust Visitor center in Glenfinnan. The view on the other side view of the visitor center is that of via duct which is filmed in Harry Potter movies.

Left Behind

2011-10-09T01:02:00.000-07:00

We tool an early morning drive to Elgol to see the Cuillin peaks with their reflection in water. It was a calm morning but turned out be cloudy. The walk down to the beach made up some color to the grey and cold atmosphere. It seems the cliff has retreated back leaving behind its debris.

Old Man of Storr

2011-10-03T11:13:00.000-07:00

The coastal loop around Isle of Skye took us more than expected time. We had planned for short hike at Old Man of Storr, however we had to skip it due to time. The was the one clear view of the pinnacle we got on our route.

Solitude

2011-09-30T15:31:00.000-07:00

Same location as previous picture. Looking back on the trail the image is of peaceful green landscape with mountain lakes. Just 15-20mins ago I was in a crowd and now I was all alone without a soul in view for miles.

Cliffs of Quiraing

2011-09-28T14:46:00.000-07:00

Cliffs of Quiraing: This was a very nice hike. While my waited in the car with my daughter, I told her I would be back in 20 mins. I just kept walking along the trail till just pass these cliffs and did not realize I had taken about an hour to get back to the vehicle. The scenery is varied starting with green meadows, then goes via hills-edge trails via these cliffs and then opening out with view of the sea.

Borax Mines

2011-09-24T00:31:00.000-07:00

Thought I should change the theme from Scotland to something else from my last few pics. I picked one from archives, this one is of mid June2009. A lonely trip to Death Valley is not a good idea. Death Valley though formidable in this hot season is a landscape with so much variety and beauty that I did 3 trips totally this place. This view is of Borax mines from CA190, close to Furnace Creek Campground. I remember the heat, no people, miles of open road and dry landscape but with variety of colors.

Cliffs of Staffin

2011-09-21T12:21:00.000-07:00

Cliffs of Staffin, Isle of Skye - We were looking out for a view point and just at the right point we got directions to a waterfalls. The At the viewpoint waterfalls seemed secondary to the cliff view.

Mountains, Stream, Meadows, Sea

2011-09-16T05:57:00.000-07:00

A surprise bend as we started our day tour around the Isle of Skye. At this bend we encountered a big waterfall which was folked by number of tourist buses and cars.

Sea Cliffs

View to the left from the previous picture. Seems you are standing on the pulpit, bouquets in front and empty space as your audience.

By The Sea

Same location as the previous picture. This is the bigger picture of the Dream Homes.

Dream Homes

2011-09-10T10:14:00.000-07:00

Dream homes - Isle of Skye. The coastal drive on A87 was very scenic. Fortunately we were blessed with very nice weather. These bungalows were sea facing and in midst of scenic beauty.

Sand Dunes Abstract

Same location and time as this one. So many patterns of sand dunes ...

Old Warhorse

2011-09-08T11:23:00.000-07:00

Old Warhorse - The rusty tractor at our campsite in Ashaig seemed abandoned, however I think it might still be in use due to its tyre condition. Would have loved to see it in action. Our campsite host was very friendly and tried to make our rainy and cold camping adventure as comfortable as possible.

Serenity

2011-09-07T10:50:00.000-07:00

After passing through the beautiful region of Lake Lamond and Glencoe it was nearly 4pm and we had to reach Isle of Skye for night halt. The still water, evening sun and low hanging clouds made a wonderful view at Loch Cluanie.

You are Invited

2011-09-04T03:59:00.000-07:00

It was quite late when we started from Woking for our Scotland road trip - about 6:30pm and we reached Abbington for our night halt by about 1:30am. The next morning as we came out for breakfast, it was then we noticed that the views from the hotel were quite nice even when it was just by the motorway.

Misty Cauldron

2011-09-03T04:52:00.001-07:00

We did a 4 day road trip to North Scotland spending about a day at Isle of Skye. The landscapes as we approached Glencoe on A82 were very scenic. We did not get clear sky, but had clouds accompany and fortunately no rain. I guess, the preservation of the clear mountain summit views by clouds gives a different mystery to the landscape.

Conversation

No roof, unlimited space and no one to eavesdrop - what else can you ask for a private conversation.
