Viharamahadevi Park. It is commonly known as the 'garden city of the east’ and is the oldest park in Colombo. It was initially known as Victoria Park, after the queen of the British Empire. However, in the 1950s, it was renamed Viharamahadevi Park, after the mother of King Dutugemunu. While it is a well-maintained park today, it was not always the case then. Over time, it had fallen into disrepair, with barely any funds distributed for its maintenance. Thankfully, all that changed when the 23rd Commonwealth Heads of Government Meet was held in the city. Taking center stage in the park and towering over everything else is a statue of the Buddha, which replaced the statue of Queen Victoria which stood there previously. Should you get a chance to visit Colombo when the world opens up, make sure this park is on your itinerary. It is a perfect spot to get away from the bustle of the city. . . . Read more on the blog.

The Brooklyn Bridge It's among the most recognisable and iconic features of New York's famed skyline. Stretching between Lower Manhattan and Brooklyn on the East River, the Brooklyn Bridge opened in 1883. Since then, it's featured in countless movies and TV shows. As an interesting aside, when the bridge was officially opened, while credit goes to Emily Warren Roebling to make the first trip across the bridge, sitting with her was a rooster, for good luck. The debate is still out as to who crossed the bridge first - Emily or the rooster. _________________________________________ All within your reach 🇺🇲 _________________________________________ @nofixedaddrs #nofixedaddrs _________________________________________ #brooklynbridge #newyork #brooklyn #newyorkcity #manhattan #bigapple #bridge #washingtonaroebling #emilywroebling #johnaroebling #architecture #design #architecturephotography #architect #archilovers #architecturelovers #designer #landscape #eastriver #river #skyline #riverlife #nycphotography #nycityworld #nycskyline #moody #nycphotographer #streetphotography #perspective (at Brooklyn Bridge) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bx9rQeEAPnB/?igshid=brkwg2f74c1o

Checkmate! Meanwhile, somewhere in Stockholm. Sadly, it's one game I've not got down to learning, forget understanding. And you, do you play the game? Are you a traditional player, or a rough and tough player? _________________________________________ Visit Sweden 🇸🇪 _________________________________________ @nofixedaddrs #nofixedaddrs _________________________________________ #chess #chessboard #checkmate #chessgame #game #chesspiece #chessplayer #chesslife #queen #pawn #chesslover #chessmaster #satran #king #chesstournament #chessmoves #sports #street #streetgames #stockholm #sweden #sverige #visitstockholm #sk #swedish #kungstradgarden #kungsträdgården #kingsgarden #park #kungsan (at Kungsträdgården) https://www.instagram.com/p/BwSLUEpFxDc/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=16fq2kc83jrjh

A coup spotting a classic coupe. Evening walks around the back alleys in London can sure throw up a surprise or two. Like this classic 1968 Ford Mustang 289 Coupe. More reason to make it a regular habit. The walk, that is. _________________________________________ Find your Great Britain 🇬🇧 _________________________________________ @nofixedaddrs #nofixedaddrs _________________________________________ #mustang #ford #fordmustang #mustangfanclub #mustangs #carsofinstagram #stang #mustangsofinstagram #american #worldwidestangs #theponyaddicts #mustangmagazine #classiccar #classiccars #vintagecar #oldcar #vintagecars #classic #vintage #oldtimer #drivetastefully #classiccarsworldcompetition #classiccarsworldwide #classiccarsworlds #instacar #carporn #ford #carphotography (at South Kensington) https://www.instagram.com/p/BxP1ILAltFY/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1gmzwulzo8454

The blue train. The train journey from Kandy to Ella is today, a rite of passage for any traveler who visits Sri Lanka. As it chugs along on its seven-hour-long journey across paddy fields and through tunnels, you get a door-side view of the high hills and lush green tea plantations. It wasn’t always so though. It was built when the British transported tea from the hills of Kandy to the capital. What initially started as a 50 odd km rail line in 1864, has, today, expanded to over 1,500 km that runs through hills, along the coasts, and through villages across the country. There is something magical, and risky about hanging out of a moving train. It felt refreshing, as every turn along the journey was an opportunity to experience and appreciate an ever-changing landscape. Lush green paddy fields in small towns gave way to high hills with trees that towered even higher. As the train slowly snakes its way uphill and takes yet another turn, views of misty covered hilltops and stations would greet us, while tea pickers would stop work in the tea plantations, for just a few moments, to smile and wave back at delirious passengers trying to capture their photograph. Now, if this isn’t a journey that is pure unadulterated joy, then what is. _________________________________________ @nofixedaddrs #nofixedaddrs _________________________________________ So Sri Lanka 🇱🇰 #SoSriLanka #VisitSriLanka _________________________________________ ………. ……... …….. ……. …… ….. …. … .. . #ellatrain #ellasrilanka #outsidethetrain #trainphotography #trains #travelbytrain #knowSL #mustbeSriLanka #exploreSriLanka #travelsrilanka #lovesrilanka #amazingsrilanka #srilankadiaries #srilankatourism #feelsrilanka #srilankatravel #srilankatoday #srilankadaily #slbloggers #thisissrilanka #igersella #igerssrilanka #ig_srilanka (at Sri Lanka) https://www.instagram.com/p/CSJuJ_JMyGc/?utm_medium=tumblr

F.R.I.E.N.D.S. Old jungle saying: “The older you get doesn’t mean you are any more mature or wiser.” And so here I am, on the first day of my favourite month, sitting hunched over the laptop, thinking of good times and bad times too, with friends here and there, near and far, in and out of the frame, or just doing their own silly ‘mature’ thing. In the meantime, I shall have Queen playing “Friends will be friends” on loop until I am sick and tired of listening to that number. That’s the plan. A very wise plan. How about you? _________________________________________ @nofixedaddrs #nofixedaddrs _________________________________________ This is planet Earth 🌍 #thisisplanetearth _________________________________________ ………. ……... …….. ……. …… ….. …. … .. . #friendshipday #friends #friendship #friendshipgoals #love #friendshipquotes #happyfriendshipday #friendsforever #friendships #friendshipforever #friendshiplove #friendshipismagic #friendshipgoal #friendshipneverends #bestfriends #bff #friendshipquote #friend #friendshipdayspecial #life #memories #olderbutnotwiser #phantomcomics #phantom #queen #friendswillbefriends (at Planet Earth) https://www.instagram.com/p/CSBVASGMQSs/?utm_medium=tumblr

Alexander Nevsky Cathedral. Perched atop Toompea Hill, in the heart of Tallinn, is Estonia's main Russian Orthodox cathedral - Alexander Nevsky Cathedral. Dedicated to Alexander Nevsky, the Prince who reigned over Novgorod in the 13th century, construction work on this onion-domed magnificent building began in 1894 and was finally completed in 1900. The architecture is heavily reliant on the Russian church architecture of that time, which makes sense, as Estonia was then part of the massive Russian Czar empire. This large and richly decorated church filled with mosaics and icons was designed by Mikhail Preobrazhenski, a celebrated architect from St Petersburg. Peer up at the church towers and you will also see Tallinn’s ensemble of church bells comprising 11 bells and also the city's largest bell, weighing in at a hefty 15 tons. If you have the time, wait for the day's service to begin and you can hear the bells chime in unison. _________________________________________ @nofixedaddrs #nofixedaddrs _________________________________________ Visit Estonia 🇪🇪 #visitestonia #EstonianWay #VisitTallinn #tallinncard _________________________________________ ………. ……... …….. ……. …… ….. …. … .. . #tallinn #tallinncity #tallinnoldtown #alexandernevskycathedral #estonia🇪🇪 #estonia #cathedral #church #cathedralsofinstagram #churchesofinstagram #architecture #historicalbuilding #hiddengem #baltics #cathedralsofeurope #tallinn_city #alexandernevsky #oldtown #tallinngram #eesti #orthodox #russianorthodox (at Alexander Nevsky Cathedral, Tallinn) https://www.instagram.com/p/CR3KtuhMhl2/?utm_medium=tumblr

Ho Chi Minh Museum. For a heady mix of socialism and kitsch pop art, why not head to the Ho Chi Minh Museum in Hanoi the next time you are there. The Ho Chi Minh Museum is located within the mausoleum complex itself and is a short walk from the mausoleum. A visit to the mausoleum complex isn’t only about viewing the embalmed body of Ho Chi Minh. The complex is quite a vast area with several things to see, including Ba Dinh Square, the Presidential Palace with Ho Chi Minh’s Stilt House, the Ho Chi Minh Museum and the One Pillar Pagoda. The museum opened on the 19th of May 1990, the 100th birthday of Ho Chi Minh. It is a documentation of his life, broken down into eight topics in chronological order. However, unlike other museums across Vietnam, this one is especially modern both in terms of thought and presentation. Installments seem to jut out of walls and from beneath the floor, while artifacts and miniatures hang tantalisingly from the ceiling. . . . Read more on the blog.
