Snowville to Greenville

Refer to my earlier post Snowville posted a few days back. These pictures are taken exactly from the same angle, just that the snow has  disappeared. Climate is hitting 50 F +, making it much easier to move around the city.

Human Natural Curve - Reversed !

What a pleasing sight if you are an Indian cricket fan, not a every match scene. Picture from 4th day of the second test match between India & South Africa @ Durban, Dec 2010. Jacques Kallis, one of the most accomplished batsman in cricketing history jumps and bends to avoid a short pitched ball from Sreesanth. But all he managed was to get out by fending the ball to gully. Delightful scene for an Indian fan, not many bowlers have done this to Kallis.

India went on to win the test match.

Snowville

This is not exactly a picture of Snowville in Utah, i named it so. After all its my blog, and i think i have the rights to title it as i wish ;)

This is how it looks when it snows, the picture was taken on the Christmas Day 2010. Infact even after a few days the place looks very similar just the drive ways, roads & walking paths have been cleaned. I particularly like the snow on the roof of the buildings for some reason, probably i would link it to the snow scenes in the old movies. Familiar sight !

My first US home

That's homestead studio suites Norwalk CT, my first home @ US. The picture was taken from my office desk, thankfully my employer was kind enough to find me a place right across the office street which made my life a lot easier with commuting. The trees looks so sad with the winter on, shedding all its leaves and infact the whole environment looks a little dull. The day dawns around 6 in the morning but the sunlight goes off around 4 in the evening, and it gets really cold. Working after 4 even gives a feel of working for very very long. In spite of all these i kind of like the winter especially after coming down here from Singapore where it was hot & humid throughout the year.

I was said, the place looks a lot better in the summer with the colorful leaves. Looking ahead for that, already had enough with the winter. Cold, snow & freezing temperature and without a car not too easy to move around.

Chicago under Lights

That's a picture of Chicago from a flight journey to O'Hare airport. I realize now that my iphone camera isn't any good to shoot pictures at night, i thought it would be much better than this. Coming back to the picture itself, the streets and roads are all in straight line making it such a beautiful sight. Grouping is just amazing, well this is my first view of this kind at least with the lights in the city. No wonder i am liking it a lot !

Macy's Parade..

If you have watched Spiderman 2, you would have known about Macy's Parade. Its the parade where  The story of this parade starts way long back in 1927, if you want to know more about Macy's visit http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macy's_Thanksgiving_Day_Parade.

I had a few hours to spend in New York on the Thanksgiving day(25 Nov 10) before heading to Washington DC on the same afternoon. I reached early too, so why not use the Opportunity to visit one of the famous parades in the world. And indeed i enjoyed each and every bit of it. Grabbed a hot chocolate and took a comfortable to stand in one of the streets right before the parade started. I dint have to wait too long before the parade and these are some i saw. The floats were amazing, have seen them earlier in movies but seeing them in real was amazing. Spiderman, Panda, Toy Story 3 One(The one who speaks spanish), Shrek are some of the floats, there are a few for which i don't have a name either, Google please.
