Smokies...

World renowned for the diversity of its plant and animal life, the beauty of its ancient mountains and the quality of its remnants of Southern Appalachian mountain culture, Great Smoky Mountains National Park encompasses over 800 square miles.
Biological diversity is the hallmark of these mountains which are among the oldest mountains in the world, formed perhaps 200-300 million years ago.

Mr. Bob

Mr. Bob or simply 'Baaaaaaab', used to take care of Apt. 30 Custer Street, the place where I used to live while doing my post graduation…almost 3 yrs back now!
In my recent trip to Buffalo, NY, I visited my apartment…and to my great surprise, I found this chap, relaxing on the patio steps, with his pal, and enjoying a couple of puffs after a meal…in a summery afternoon…!!!

Beauty That Has Gone...!

Few days back...while walking on the trail,
saw this little beauty lying on the ground,
who had flew away...very very far,
over the hills,...over the river,...over the sea,
somewhere in the deep blue sky,
and now never going to come back...!

all those old memories…all those old days…all those old things …

n now you have a dilemma…

either to hang on there or to head up…

now what…

you have to think quick…as don’t want to miss that “SUNRISE”…

for what you came all the way… about what you dream all time…

n you have so lil time in your hand…

A whole new world...

A whole new world
A new fantastic point of view
No one to tell us no
Or where to go
Or say we're only dreaming

A whole new world
A dazzling place I never knew
But when I'm way up here
It's crystal clear
That now I'm in a whole new world with you
Now I'm in a whole new world…with you!!!

Most crowded lake in the Adirondacks Park is Lake George…and it is alive with lots of events, nearby attractions, amusement parks and the fun factor.
But, so what?... this cho chweet princess was totally careless about the surrounding world…her dad, standing only few feet away, was calling her for so many times and she was absolutely clueless…n had lost in her own world!

Adirondack Park

Wild and civilized by turns, the Adirondacks are an immense blue and green space in which to relax, play and plot an adventure.

This region in Northern New York contains 3,000 ponds and lakes, 2,000 miles of hiking trails and of course, the Adirondack Mountains.


I was lucky to explore this beauty on Memorial day weekend break! The most beautiful lakes I have ever seen;

with water limpid as crystal, and mountain sides covered with rich wood...and so placid n serene, just like a smooth mirror!

On Sunday morning, I left from my cousin's place, NY to NJ to meet my friends. I took my first metro to reach Pen station. Lazy morning, one hr journey n unfilled train…almost everyone was sleepy. I had nothing to do except watching outside or looking here n there until I saw opposite back side. I don't know who was she…sun was arising from that side and she was in fast sleep when I clicked this shot…Unknown!

The most populous city in the United States, New York City is the center of international finance, fashion, entertainment and culture, and is widely considered to be a capital of the World.
With one of the most recognizable skyline in the world, it is often called “The city that never sleeps”.

Few months before, got a chance to capture few images of this magnificent city where every frame holds its inimitable mood...and that change at each moment too.

A distinctive symbol of New York City, Chrysler Building was the first structure in the world to surpass the 1,000 foot (305 m) threshold and is still the tallest brick building in the world.

Beautiful morning, pleasing weather and dramatic fall season, no way you can sit at home! You get excited for long drive listening John Denver’s any country track…

Country roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain momma
Take me home, country roads…

Or

Sunshine on my shoulders makes me happy
Sunshine in my eyes can make me cry
Sunshine on the water looks so lovely
Sunshine almost always makes me high

…West Virginia welcomes you with her spectacular mountains, swirling rivers, and scenic countryside offering a change of pace from the rush of everyday life.
