A glimpse at the world, far beyond Chennai

 Some interesting shots taken across a few European countries will be shared here for a change.
Cold wind and the unpredictable weather in London was initially threatening but never hindered our quest to explore this clean and expensive city. Clutching our cold jackets tight and creamy ice creams melting in our mouth, we walked on the London streets, not wanting to miss a thing, window shopping,  watching beautiful women dressed in the most fashionable clothes, stopping now and then to grab a bite,  and had a spectacular view of London, from the London Eye wheel. The brick buildings reminded me of the houses in hill stations like Ooty and Kodaikanal, a trace of the English colonisation in India. Feels like Lovely London beckons me again.

 STILL AS A STATUE: Taking both of them to be statues, I was too happy to take a shot, but was startled when the one sitting suddenly clapped his hands and made a noise. The other one is a statue.
