My favourite photos along with some background. These photos are mostly of some sceneries, sky and light shows, a lot of nature shots including mountains / wooded areas, and a general assortment of other photos. I have had a lot of fun while taking these photos and looking at them even now, gives a good feeling. Some of these photos show what can do done from normal photos, converting them into works of art, using photoshop and other tools.

A photo of the shopping area in London in the evening, with well lighted shops. This is around the time of the Chinese New Year, and hence you can see the colored balloons in the air.

These are fossil replicas of the dinosaur nests (Maiasaura and Oradromeus) at the Natural History Museum in London.

This is a replica of the T Rex in the Natural History Museum in London. It is a living moving replica, with sound, light and helps to provide a good depiction to kids who can get an idea of what the dinosaur will like like (other than seeing them in Jurassic Park).

This is a photo of a skeleton in the Natural History Museum in London. From an angle, it looks like the skeleton of the cyborg in the Terminator series.

This is the fossil of a reptile in the Natural History Museum located in London. Along with the fossil, there will be background information next to the exhibit, and this can prove very educational.

This is a photo of the pretty large antlers that belong to an ancient animal, mounted inside the Natural History Museum in London.

This is a much closer look at the skeleton of the 'Diplodocus' located at the entrance of the Natural History Museum. The immense fossil right at the beginning is a massive attraction.

This is the atrium right next to the entrance of the Natural History Museum in London. The immense skeleton that is visible is that of a 'Diplodocus'. The Natural History Museum is one of three large museums on Exhibition Road, South Kensington, London (the others are the Science Museum, and the Victoria and Albert Museum). Its main frontage is on Cromwell Road.

The Harrod's shop in London's shopping district. The shop looks magnificent, but is not meant for normal people - it was fairly expensive.

When I see a bit sheet of glass, there is always the curiosity about whether I can capture both the inside of the glass and the outside (in this case, the road). This is a shop in London, and if you look closely, you can see both the inside and the outside of the shop very easily.

This is a photo of the Victoria Memorial, located right in front of Buckingham Palace. It's actually located on its own traffic island right in front of the Palace.

These are individual mounted soldiers of the Queen's Guards cantering along in single file, away from Buckingham Palace.

I don't know the name of the building that is shown in the photo, but it was something like St. James ...; it is very close to Buckingham Palace, and what was interesting for me in this photo was the view of the top of the London Eye wheel peeking over the top.

Another view of the road leading to Buckingham Palace. This photo would be slightly more straighter than the previous photo, and I stood on the central verge and waited for traffic to thin out somewhat while taking this photo.

Get a view of the tree-lined road (with green areas on both sides) that leads to Buckingham Palace and the Victoria Memorial. There is traffic on this road, but the traffic can be very light sometimes.

This is a slightly more distant view of the Admiralty Arch, one in which it is framed by trees on either side (the previous photo had just the Admiralty Arch in the view).

This is the front view of the Admiralty Arch, right next to the Trafalgar Square in London. The Admiralty Arch was built almost a century back, and now house Government offices.

Statue in Trafalgar Square, against the backdrop of a building with a tall spire. The spire of the building seems to rise very high.

This is a photo of the National Gallery in Trafalgar Square in London. Being part of the Trafalgar Square, there are a lot of tourists milling around, as you can see from the photo.
