Pics from the Colorado trip back in November, 2009 (with Ujwala and Maa). We spent two days in Rocky Mountain National Park and a day over in Colorado Springs and around (Manitou Springs, Pikes Peak – highest peak in that area).

It’s heavenly – have to go there again in Spring 2010 )along with the parks in Wyoming, Montana).

On a photo uploading spree today.

The first album consists photos from Hamilton Park and Alki Beach, a beautiful area in West Seattle. Because of it’s location, you get great views of Seattle and the Harbor from here, specially great in the evening.

Hamilton Viewpoint Park: See details here and the Seattle gov parks page.

The full album (only 26 pics – easy to click through and to add comments too) is on my smugmug site: http://arnab-o-scope.smugmug.com/gallery/9163956_kwkf7.

Here are a few excerpts:

Last weekend I, Ujwala and two of my old time friends, Daboo and Nandini met up in Vegas.

We went around, saw the fabulous (should I say decadently smashing) hotels/resorts/casinos and did a little money-wasting (it would be hard to call slot machines gambling). The Cirque Du Soleil Mystere show was really superb – perhaps the best live performance (in theater/circus area) I have seen. The crazy horse show was… well… disappointing.

We had Grand Canyon in mind when we were planning for the trip but heavy snow and bad weather made us cancel it. And Hoover Dam too…

But we did go over to Death Valley National Park Area and Red Rock Canyon – was rocking!

My top five of the trip are -
1) Cirque Du Soleil Mystere show
2) Red Rock Canyon
3) Badwater Basin (and the drive to/from)
4) The fabulous Vegas Strip – special mention goes to Bellagio fountains, the Wynn resort, The Mirage Volcanic fountains
5) The view from top of Stratosphere tower

Taking this opportunity, let me showcase a few of my pictures. All my photos from the trip at arnab-o-scope on smugmug.

Daboo also took some great pictures. They are at Nandini’s picasa album)
