Invitation Sent

Ah, the weather here in the foreign land finally started turning pleasant... today while working inside the room I was sweating like anything and seemed like the temperature is high up like 40 degrees. But it was only 10 degrees which my lappy soughted... Still it is just another pleasant time in the city of Nottingham...

So the invitation to Spring is sent and accepted... And Boy, it's making me crazy ;)

Alien spikes...

P.S. This photograph of the first blossom that I got to see here during this grey period, near the zebra crossing that I cross everyday to go to school. I was actually noticing them since the day the alien spikes came out of the ground showing the shade of green from the color palate of nature. I was expecting some flowers but not these beautiful ones... So beautiful they are really :)
And not to mention SX 100 still rocks...

Wollaton Hall, Nottingham

The spectacular Elizabethan mansion, 'Wollaton Hall', was built on a natural hill in Nottingham during the 16th century. This residential building is famous for it's historic 'Hall' and is surrounded by 500 acres of parkland. Except this it also houses the Natural History Museum and Nottingham Industrial museum.

On a sunny afternoon I managed to visit the place but until I reached at the main building enjoying the beautiful parkland in my pace, it was closed. So managed to get few external snaps of this lovely piece of architecture.

Heard that, there is a massive collection of VINTAGE machinery in the Industrial Museum including working steam engines, ploughing machines, telephone exchange and even bicycles and motor-cycles. So that is the target now. I also came to know that, Nottingham has a very rich industrial heritage. Once upon a time it was famous for LACE making and having an importance in textile industry.

The lovely path through the 'Park-Land'...
