Indian Paintings and Landscapes at the British Museum

Photos from a recent visit to the British Museum to see the Garden and Cosmos exhibition. The exhibition has 56 paintings from India, none of which have been displayed before in Europe. It was a fantastic opportunity to experience the unique art tradition that flourished in the royal courts between the 17th and 19th centuries.

A walk in the country

A short train journey from London to the country on a long weekend; and you quite quickly
enjoy the peace and quietness of the beauty that surrounds you.

London by my mobile

It's been four years now of living in London, but still very much the tourist around the city. Here are some recent shots taken with my trustee mobile phone.

Piccadilly Circus with the lights on

At Tottenham Court Road just before sunset

At my favourite coffee place - Milk Bar - latte heaven

A very imposing looking St Paul's

Walking towards Regent's Street and my favourite store - can you guess?

Punting on the River Cam

Some shots from a recent day trip to Cambridge, will certainly be returning to this lovely place.

today....










  • Met up with a friend and we walked to Trafalgar sq and came upon celebrations for the Iranian new year
  • We enjoyed Japanese food for lunch
  • Watched a play called Three Days of Rain with James McAvoy
  • Enjoyed freshly fried chips
  • Guilty for eating chips, so decided to go for a long walk
  • Took some snaps of London at night, and
that was my day today.....
