Alpine mountains-Austria

In this picture, you see the Alpine mountain peak taken in Obertauren, Austria. Alpine mountains cannot be described, it must be seen. I also visited Salzburg and Innsbruck. It was a nice unforgettable trip with my friends Ranjit, Michael and Julia.


Alpine mountains-Switzerland

Above pictures were taken in Switzerland. Myself and my brother Pari made a trip during winter. The scenic route from Basel to Interlaken to Luzern was extraordinary. I wish to make a trip again but during summer.


Natural Arch

This is the picture of a natural arch arising in a beautiful landscape in the Capri Island, Italy. It is the result of the collapse of a cave (probably, in pre-historic times, over the surface of the water, when Capri was still part of the mainland) and of the action of wind and rain that, in the course of time, have moulded the arch into its present shape.

Mt.Vesuvio

The above pictures are the volcanic mountain Vesuvio. The first is the view from the Naples Harbor in Italy. It is 1227m high and is the only active Volcano on the European mainland. The mountain is notorious for its destruction of the Roman city of Pompeii in 79 AD and the last one was in 1944. Today it is regarded as one of the most dangerous volcanoes in the world. I climbed to the top of this mountain just in curiousity to know how the crater looks. It was a great experience.

Courtrallam hills

These hills are part of the courtrallam mountains, Western Ghats, Tamil Nadu, India. There are eight waterfalls in the courtrallam mountains. Go to my blog on waterfalls to see the picture of two out of the eight waterfalls.


Mykonos Hills

This is the picture of Mykonos island. Its rocky terrain rises from the sea to form gentle hills and small valleys. The rugged mountains are composed primarily of granite and are really steep.


Mt.Fuji

This is the picture of Mt. Fuji in Japan. It is 3776m high. Actually, I came across Mt.Fuji accidentally when I was on my way to see the tallest Buddha. By the end, I didn’t see Buddha but got down on a train station when I saw the Mt. Fuji sandwiched between the lake and sunset from behind. The picture has not come out well but was a very beautiful moment.
