A walk into the nature's lap with my mom

So, my mom is here and I am busy showing her the places around. On last Saturday we visited Columbia River Gorge scenic highway and I regretted not bringing my camera there. Yesterday we visited Forest park and here are a few pictures from there.

Here is something about the photos:
On my way to the forest park I really was attracted to the houses there. The Sunlight sifting through the trees was a real bliss and the park was full of bloom and life!

Balloon Festival

Balloon festival was celebrated in Tigard during June 25th to June 27th 2010. For the public the idea was to have them enjoy hot air balloons flying in the air. For us the idea was the same except that we reached late and we missed it. So, we decided to savor whatever we could. These rides were awaiting on our plates.

The Claw ride

The Chopper ride.

The Spaceship ride

And the claw ride

..not a bummer..

A trip to mount hood

My good friends have decided to move on in life and therefore this is their last weekend in Oregon. What more can they have as their memories of Oregon than mount Hood itself? So we visited mount Hood. Here are some photos of the trip:

Multnomah Falls - Mesmerizing forever..

Mount Hood - A sneak preview..

Mount Hood - The peaks..

...and the Nature's paint-brush stroke..

Florence Sand Dunes - The ATV ride

All Terrain Vehicle...Riding that was the agenda of this weekend. My friends and I randomly decided to visit Sand Dunes in Florence which lie along the coast of Oregon. The pictures that follow were not taken from my Canon Rebel XSI but from my Nexus One's 5MP camera.

That was my ATV, the transmission belt of which snapped during the ride and I got a new one then.

My buddy Belo! Fast and Furious...was leading the pack. The orange one was the replacement ATV.

My buddy Pavan found himself lost several times in the dunes.

The landscape was not bland...

and the sea was enigmatic as ever!

My blog displays pictures which according to me are good but you can visit a wide range of my pictures here:

The Blair Witch Project

'Paranormal Activity' is a nice scary movie and today we wanted to experience it ourselves. So, my friends and I headed out to a haunted place - 'The witches castle'. This place lies in lower Macleay Park. While you can find a lot of stuff on the internet about why it is haunted, I am gonna post what I experienced first hand.

It was a beautiful sunny day and we started our hike in the afternoon...

It was colorful

We walked on the trail known for 'Ghost War'

Saw the Balch Creek which reflects faces of dead people...

..and finally got to see the witches castle..

It was a nice excursion indeed but was it haunted?..I guess the ghosts were friendly with us...but one thing I can say for sure...it was very beautiful ...

Cigarettes do litter!

It's been a while I posted. I was off for 2 months due to a personal crisis. Now since I am back I wanted to fuel my blog ASAP and therefore I had been searching for a topic.
Now, my roomie smokes a lot and smoking is definitely injurious to health. Debatable! huh? Agreed but one thing is for sure, it certainly litters...Still debatable? Look for yourself...

... :) Have I won the debate hands down?
