This time I had my Dubai-Manchester flight and back on an Airbus A380-800. I was flying with Emirates and this was my first experience of flying in an A380. It felt like I was flying in a small town! I was not too lucky with my sunrises and sunsets but I liked these white…

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…
One Minute from Dubai Airport
httpv://youtu.be/J9DIxb5uXes I always find Dubai full of bustle, I have now transited 3 times via it but yet to see the city. The amount of brand names I see on an airport I guess I never get to see it otherwise!
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….

Braveheart Street Artist, Edinburgh, Scotland
The Royal Mile at Edinburgh is full of street artists and some can attract quite a crowd. I also saw two people greeting each-other where one told the other, “Hi you professionally overqualified street beggar.” And then they affectionately went on to hug each-other! I wonder what makes these people tick? Why do they do it? Are they…
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…
