Scene in Atlanta (II)

Here are some pictures from an Atlanta trip recently. There’s a post from my first Atlanta visit last year here.

Love, Peace & Joy

Take off from BWI…up and aup we go!

Moonshine from Sweet Georgia’s Juke Joint. This drink was way too strong for me. I was buzzed from just three sips but I drank it all…(not so smart I should say)

This was really inspiring. It applies to the sculpture in the next picture.

In Woodruff Park. Check out previous picture for the description of this sculpture.

From a recent trip to Boston. I got a couple of cool pictures from the plane, take a look!

“Why do you go away? So that you can come back. So that you can see the place you came from with new eyes and extra colors. And the people there see you differently, too. Coming back to where you started is not the same as never leaving.”- Terry Pratchett

Exploring the San Diego Marina

On one of the days that I spent in San Diego, I decided to take a morning walk and explore the marina. Here are some of the things I saw.

santa fe depot, a quaint train station. one of the things that surprised me the most was how different the architecture is from the east coast.

uss midway museum

“unconditional surrender” – it was fun seeing couples recreating the iconic kiss and having their pictures taken.

a shop in seaport village, “wine a bit, you’ll feel better”

san diego-coronado bridge

spotted a Navy ship outside the convention center

Scene in San Diego

Last week I traveled to San Diego for a professional meeting, and I have to say it was such  a fun trip. It also happened to be my first travel experience to the west coast. One of my favorite things were the beautiful sunsets over the Pacific ocean. I was also lucky to see a sunset from mid-air during a flight to Los Angeles. Win! More pictures of my San Diego adventure to follow. Cheers!

took this from the waterfront section near little italy

Up and Away

A few pictures from my flight from Baltimore to Boston this morning. There’s so much beauty and diversity in nature – the landscapes, terrains, water bodies and fluffy-looking clouds.

Scene in Atlanta

I was in Atlanta GA, my first trip there, for a few days this past week for a work-related conference. I spent one evening strolling through the beautiful Centennial Olympic Park. Here are a couple of pictures that I took.
