Battle of Britain monument on Thames riverfront

Bronze monument

Stumbled upon this beautifully executed bronze monument of Battle of Britain (WWII) on the Thames riverfront. The monument was conceived by Bill Bond, founder of the Battle of Britain Historical Society and sculpted by Paul Day. The casting was done by Morris Singer, which is the oldest established fine art foundry in the world. This picture, which is part of the monument, shows airmen scrambling for their aircraft during the battle. (London, 2017)

Invite the world at large. It cannot get more open and generous than this. A fascinating cultural tradition seen on the walls of homes at Jaisalmer . (Jaisalmer, Rajastan , 2014)

Tabo monastery entrance

Tabo monastery entrance The feeling is of sheer awe when you are entering a structure which was established more than a thousand years ago and is in continuous operation. Visiting ruins dating back to few thousand years is one thing but entering Tabo monastery established in 996 was a different feeling altogether. Tabo is the oldest continuously operating Buddhist monastery in both India and the Himalayas . ( Spiti , 2013)

Goan house

Goan house Noticed this pretty house somewhere on the outskirts of Goa while driving. It was so charming that I had to stop by and take pictures. Climbed the steps to check in from close quarters but the closer view was not all that charming. Despite that, the impression of this house remains etched in my mind.
