The girl with the happy expressions is the tourist. The dead pan expressions belong to the street artists. The road along which attractions like the Edinburgh Castle and the Holyroodhouse Palace are located is called the royal mile. It is a pity that due to the paucity of time I could not explore the castle at all.

Painting the Boat, Morecambe, UK
One thing that I really love about UK is that it is incredibly walking friendly. All I can do on my vacations is walk, there is hardly any other type of holiday that I ever take barring a few exceptions. I have by now been to Oxford, London, Lancaster, Blackpool, Morecambe, Heysham, Edinburgh, Windermere and…
Grasmere Lake, Lake District, UK
I am a big fan of small towns. And I am also quite capable of turning up at a place without knowing anything about it beforehand simply because the bus goes there! When I arrived at the Windermere Railway Station, I saw an open top bus which advertised 6.50 pounds as the cost of…
Seagull from Morecambe
I can hardly believe it that I clicked this picture with my point and shoot Samsung camera. When I started walking past this point I first thought that this was a stone seagull and not a real one! But another glance told me that was not the case. I was so tired by that…
Grasmere Church Car Park- Honesty Box
I visited Grasmere and thoroughly liked the place. It is a small town in the lake district in UK. I just merely turned up there as it was the last stop for the bus! It has an old church and poet Wordsworth’s grave. But then the place deserves a big blog post. What also…
Men in Kilt, Edinburgh Railway Station, Scotland
Spotted these two men in kilts right at the Edinburgh Railway Station. Quite a few of the street artists playing a musical instrument also wear it. The glass structure at the railway station (actually not too far away from where these two men were standing) also caught my eye. Seems more fit to be in…
Train Travel Between Windermere and Manchester, UK- A Short Video Clip
httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iG-1BHn8z54 The good part about being in a nation which gets a large number of tourists is that you do not feel shy to take out your camera! I got unusually good weather this time in UK. For all my days at Lancaster I got sunshine everyday and never needed to take out an umbrella….

Lake Windermere, Lake District, UK
After 3 pictures where the skies were not grey my luck ran out. All my lake district pictures have completely washed out grey skies. Will talk about all this later. Have to run as it is closing time for Costa Coffee at Windermere. Was using there wifi. And this was on August 1, I am…
