London Eye

My Husbands B'day was on 29th March, we visited London eye to spend that evening. Though I was visiting this millennium wheel for the second time, the experience was not any less exciting than what it was when I visited it for the first time. The Ferri's wheel is located on the banks of river Thames. It is one of the most famous attractions in London.


London eye was celebrating its 10th B'day, so my husband and I have planned to visit it. There was a 4D experience before going on ride. It was an awesome experience. It is a short film for about 4 minutes. It has a story of a little girl who is visiting London eye with her father. It is called 4D experience because, when it snowing in that movie you find snow around you, while children playing with bubbles you will find bubbles around you. Wow!! It was amazing. I have seen many 3D films, still the experience was wonderful and the quality of the video is very good. It has to be as govt spent 4 million pounds on it.


The ride of London eye is exactly 30 mins. While we went, it was evening there were lights in the whole city, when we reached the top of the wheel, London looks as if it is wearing a "gown of Lights". The view of Westminster (UK parliament) is just like a "golden brooch" on the gown of lights. In each capsule there were around 15 tourists. As the speed of the wheel is 0.6mph you do not feel much motion in it, but it is always better to carry an image stabilization camera. From the top when you look down you can find London Aquarium on one side and Thames river on the other. At the end of the ride, your capsule will be captured in the camera and you can buy the snap.



The evening that we spent together was memorable; this was the first B'day we spent together after our wedding. We enjoyed it and thanks to London eye for making our evening more special.

Cheers,
Vrinda

S is for Sky Scraper

When ever I hear this word one thing comes in to my mind immediately is, the New York City. Apart from being my favorite place, this place has also added some beautiful memories in to my diary. I can never forget the Friday evenings I spent in that city. Sometimes with my friends (most of the time by myself) we used to walk down the street just like that. Have fun talking on the roads, looking at the people from different nations, eating food what not?  One Penn Plaza  I used to work at  Manhattan  (heart of the city) in One Penn plaza. It is 54 storied building,  shares the same street with Empire state building.  It was fun working in a desi company, but surrounded mostly by Mexicans. They are very friendly people though, very sweet and believe me most of the girls are damn gorgeous.  Macys was adjacent to my work place, I used to get in that tall 9 storied building and spend some hours walking around the displays. I have bought many gifts for...

T is for Time

Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) is referred to solar time at royal observatory in Greenwich , London . I’ve been to this place in the year 2008 on my B’day. This pic is little blurred, as I cropped it and made some changes for a better view of this clock.  Greenwich clock with  standard measurements down there. There is a meridian line where you can at a time be on 2 different poles of earth (North Pole and South Pole). If you are in UK and never visited this place, then please go and visit it. If you are visiting UK then don't miss this place. It's fun to be here, esp for kids. This post is posted at Alphabe- Thursday . Cheers, Vrinda.

Mellow Yellow Monday # 6, Thursday Challenge 9

One of my favorite festivals is Diwali. It's after four yours I'm in India during this festival. This festival is celebrated due to triumph of  good over evil. During school days I used to burn the crackers, enjoy till dawn with friends and have fun with noisy fireworks.  In Sanskrit Diwali or Deepavali means "row of lights". You find lamps in front of most of the houses through out India. This is the resemblance of spirit and unity of the country. This festival is also known for Lakshmi pooja (Goddess of wealth) who helps attain health, wealth, peace and prosperity to the family. Firecrackers come in different varieties  from the delightfully visual ones to the ear deafening noisy ones. Standard type of crackers include Flower pots, Bhoo chakra (Ground wheel), Vishnu chakra and Rockets. I've taken many snaps, among all this is my favorite shot.  These are my snaps for this week  Mellow Yellow Monday  and  Thu...
