Amazing England I

Last year in October, I visited UK. It was my second visit to the English land and again this time too I could not visit Scotland and Welsh country. As it was autumn in the UK, I found colorful trees everywhere. The weather was as unpredictable as stock exchange, giving warm as well as cooling effects periodically and sometimes raining for the whole day. I visited Leamington Spa town (where I was staying), Warwick castle, Stratford upon Avon(William Shakespeare's birth place) and City of Coventry.

    I am sharing few snaps of my visit, in three parts.

   Royal Leamington Spa:- Situated in Warwick shire, famous for its mineral spa was once used to called as
Leamington Priors.  Here are few snaps of the city.

    The colorful trees all around the streets of Leamington city. It feels like various paint brushes are trying to color the canvass of the sky.






River Leam flowing through the town, you can see greenery around the river.







 All Saint's church , a parish church for Leamington Spa.






Beautiful Gurudwara in the town.



                     
  The apartment in the town where I stayed.

    Hey Aniruddha!!
    thanks for your feedback. You are right, this time less description, because there are lots of photographs, and if I am not much mistaken, the photographs are itself describing something!!! :), don't you think? Anyway I will add much more description from now onwards.

    Dear Subodh,
    I know photographs are self descriptive.But they are not having SUBODH's vision & also they are not shined by your magical words which makes them live for us.
    I am regular follower of ur blogs and your description & magic of words makes your blog readable.Looking the snaps is just like visiting museum but to FEEL them we need desription
    Thats what I honestly feel.

The Camera Story...

   Visiting new places also comes with the requirement of capturing photographs with some good camera, not necessarily with digital SLR but at least with digital camera of few mega pixels and considerable optical zoom.  I have a digital camera of 8 mega pixels and 3X optical zoom. I bought that in 2006 when I was in Japan. I was satisfied with the quality of the images I captured with it and I had no intention of replacing it in near future. During my stay in USA my friend suggested me to buy new camera but I ignored his suggestion, I was firm on my decision. But one day we were coming back from office, my friend casually said "At least you can take a look at wide variety of cameras and many other things". I nodded, there was no harm in spending some time in that giant electronic store. We parked the car and entered the store. The store was obviously huge with a wide variety of various electronic items. My friend took me to camera section, there were plenty of cameras of ...

My days in Japan : II

 On our journey to Mumbai international airport we found out that my and one of my colleague who initially missed our van had a ticket of same airline but the guy who boarded the van at the end was having a ticket of different airline. He became nervous as he was going to travel entire journey from Mumbai to Tokyo all alone and for the first time.     We reached Mumbai international airport six in the evening. After getting inside we immediately checked in our luggage to avoid extra burden. I sat on a bench, thinking of how to spend time. I wondered, for a last whole week, I was in need of some spare time for relaxation and I could not afford it but now I was having a plenty of time to spend and I was getting bored I was not feeling like to take a rest.    Three of us were wearing suit, neck tie, in a perfect formal attire, I was feeling like we are part of some high profile delegation and are visiting Japan to attend some important co...

My days in Japan: III

 It was late in the night according to local time when our flight landed on Narita airport. We were standing in the queue for immigration. "We are almost 2 hours late", my friend muttered. I saw in wall clock it was showing 11:30. "Now at least two hours to reach the apartment at Rokugoudote", I said to myself, a distance of approximately 65 kilo-meters. I was worried about the mode of transport, I was totally unaware of the fact that the taxi which was supposed to pick up us from Narita airport was already gone. Immigration officer demanded my passport and invitation letter then he looked at me and called his colleague, discussed something with him. His colleague then asked me whether anybody is accompanying me, after I pointed my finger to my friend both of us were told to wait in some waiting room. He did not ask us any single question or not even explanation for something. We were sitting there for almost half an hour like a statue, I was so tired that I was not...
