Inner Harbor -B'more

Again, got busy like hell for last two weeks and couldn’t get chance to update the blog. Some issues at work as well as at personal front dragged me away from the blogger world! But yes, the positive part is that got chance to collect few good shots in my bucket and now am ready to share with all of you in full swing...:)

Well, the summer is blessing the crab city, Baltimore and joy souls are enjoying all weekends and nights! Inner harbor is one of the most visited features of the city. It has been one of the major seaports in the United States since the 1700's and started blossoming into the cultural center of Baltimore that it has become today since the 1970's.

Though I work only 4/5 blocks away from Inner Harbor, this year I hardly got time to visit there; but then that evening the scene was something else,....soft silvery moonlight was dazzling all over n my mesmerized mind was not ready to go back to home till late!

Finding Nemo

Two weeks back I visited Baltimore zoo...well, I was planning to go there since long time, but some how routine things were keeping me busy and I was ending up with postponing the visit. But this time I deiced to go at any cost...spent few hours there.

The place was busy with all summer fun...kids were enjoying, playing, cheering up...and on the top of that their parents were also getting tiddler n chirking along with them.
Sometimes it is good to forget all those routine tensions and just be a kiddo n enjoy this beautiful life, right?... ;)

My Heart Will Go On...

Let's dedicate this lovely song to this lovely couple...:)

Every night in my dreams
I see you. I feel you.
That is how I know you go on.

Far across the distance
And spaces between us
You have come to show you go on.

Near, far, wherever you are
I believe that the heart does go on
Once more you open the door
And you're here in my heart
And my heart will go on and on

(My Heart Will Go On...1997 Celine Dion)

Acadia's Geology

No...no, this not a goelogy lecture nor I work for NGC (Wish I do that..;) Here are some facts I collected while reading 'Nature and Science' about Acadia. So just thought to share this info with all of you friends! (Sourse: nps.gov - Acadia)

Acadia's landscape had its beginnings long before sunbeams first caressed the slopes of Cadillac Mountain. About 500 to 600 million years ago, nameless rivers transported sand, silt, and mud onto the floor of an ancient sea. These sediments built at a rate of about one inch every hundred years until they accreted to depths of thousands of feet.

Pressure and heat transformed these sediments into the earliest bedrock. Next, titanic forces lifted and warped the bedrock of the sea into a mountain range, a range perhaps as mighty as the Rockies. But inexorably, the forces of air, water, and gravity ground these mountains down until little was left.

Today, only schists and gneisses, rocks of the Ellsworth formation, remain as testimony to those mountains of long ago. The mountains were built up by tectonic and volcanic forces, and scraped down and shaped by a succession of glaciers. The land sank beneath the weight of mile-deep ice as glaciers inexorably ground their way toward present day Georges Bank, Long Island, and Cape Cod.

As the glaciers receded, they filled a vast valley surrounding the mountains with meltwater, creating the Gulf of Maine. Relieved of the great burden of the ice, the land slowly rebounded. These processes, over the eons of time, created the landscape of which Acadia National Park and its mountains are a part.

The shoreline is also a work in progress, constantly being shaped and reshaped by waves and wind and storms. Slowly the ocean works away at the hard edges of the island, carving sea stacks and leaving pockets of beaches filled with surf-rounded cobblestones.
