At night one can appreciate the splendour and beauty of Regent Street. When the lights come on, the complexion of this grand street changes. The contrast of the grand white architecture contrasted with the dark night sky is simply magnificent. What is even better is there is little pedestrian traffic so you can appreciate the curved buildings more than when you're dodging the daily pedestrian commuters, tourists and shoppers.
Many years ago I confused Piccadilly Street with Regent Street for some odd reason. I'd race up Piccadilly thinking I'd arrive at Liberty in less than five minutes only to find myself at Green Park and far from where I wanted to be. There is a lesson to be learned when navigating the streets of London on foot - use a map or know where you're going. I did neither in my early years. I can now get from Point A to Point B with my eyes closed.
Since my London book project began, I've learned when to zag instead of zig to end up where I need to be. Thank the street gods for that. Learning to navigate is not at all difficult. I often say I am not a fan of public transportation. The reason for this is because I miss out on London by being on a bus or underground. The sounds, sights and even the smells of London make it remarkable. So, stay on foot, walk a bit more and discover London the way it should be discovered.
That said, Regent Street is a good example of starting at one point of London thinking you'll end up where you want to go, but really end up at Point C. Always look on the bright side - there are great shops along Regent Street to keep you entertained. You might also think about these interesting facts about Regent Street :
:: Regent Street was one of the first planned developments in London. It was intentionally constructed by the government as a commercial business area.
:: Regent Street was given its name in honour of Prince George (later King George IV), who funded most of the construction.
:: In 1850, Regent Street shops stayed open until a whopping 7 pm making it one of the first late-night shopping events in the city.
:: Over 7.5 million people visit Regent Street every year. The street is over a mile long and the shops along it employ about 20,000 people. Regent Street also contains room for over 400 small offices and 750,000 square feet of large office space.
:: Due to its status as a fashion Mecca, and its length, Regent Street is also referred to as the "Mile of Style."
:: Open since 1881, Hamleys toy store is the oldest operating business on Regent Street, having opened originally in High Holborn in 1760. The oldest continually operating store perhaps goes to Liberty, which opened six years before in 1875.
The video on the blog includes a night scene of Regent Street. The lighted pavement in the foreground is brilliant. Below are a few images of Regent Street.

He did not cut them for 30 years..
The Maha Kumbh Mela is the largest religious gathering on earth, and takes place every 12 years on the banks of Sangam, the confluence of the holy rivers Ganga, Yamuna and the mythical Saraswati, the Kumbh Mela took place in Allahabad in 2013 and attracted more than 100 million people...
Sadhu stay in little tent or houses, and all day long bless pilgrims. They smoke hashish, chat, and pause for photographers. They are holy men, they live without nothing, just covering their bodies with ashes. Do not forget the donation! It is impressive to see the people coming, touching their feet, and asking for a blessing.

“A picture can express a universal humanism, or simply reveal a delicate and poignant truth by exposing a slice of life that might otherwise pass unnoticed.” - Steve McCurry
73 Dunlop Street in Little India is the location for The InnCrowd Hostel and my temporary address while I was in Singapore last year.
Just footsteps from the hostel, also on Dunlop Street, is the Masjid Abdul Gaffoor (Malay) for the Abdul Gaffoor Mosque. I would walk by this beautiful mosque everyday to and from the hostel. I would have my camera at my side but never found the perfect moment to make a photograph either because the light was terrible or maybe it was due to my obsession to always look for those “Steve McCurry” moments.
One afternoon I walked by the mosque and the elements of light and composition (I crouched down low to frame the mosque with the footwear in the foreground (when entering a mosque one must be barefooted)) happen to come together. The only thing missing was the human element to portray a “slice of life.”
I remembered a quote from photojournalist Steve McCurry when he learned to watch and wait on life. “If you wait,” he realized, “people will forget your camera and the soul will drift up into view.”
I waited patiently for a “soul to drift up into my view” and I was rewarded with this storytelling image as this young girl ran across my frame.
Happy Travels!

Interior view of the pigeon tower (dovecote) in Meybod city, Yazd province of Iran.
Constructed during the Qajar era, it provided nesting space for up to 4000 pigeons, for the collection of the birds' droppings, which are a very rich and effective fertilizer for growing plants and crops. The Tower is cylindrical with ridged stucco and brick placements decorating the walls not only adding to the beauty of the Tower, but also preventing snakes from sliding up the surface and gaining entry. The thick adobe crust consists of six interior chambers with a tiny entrance on the west side and two flights of stairs.

Don't you just love this time of year? The evenings are getting lighter, the days are a teeny tiny bit warmer, the buds are unfolding and stretching the wee leaves, the first bumble bees are buzzing around and the birds are chirping away even at night… ah, spring! ♥

Mix the passion of South America and a hint of Europe and you have Buenos Aires, one of the finest cities in the Americas. From Tango Dances to parades in the streets (and sometimes demonstrations) and a dramatic cemetery - Buenos Aires has it all. Don't miss El Ateneo or Teatro Colón and most definitely add in Caminito in La Boca.
Each time I visit Buenos Aires I fall in love deeper and become more passionate about the city. There is a European charm to the people of Buenos Aires and the energy is just as upbeat as any Capital city you'll visit. Amongst the sophistication, there is a laid-back South American vibe making the city even more appealing for those seeking to escape our uptight world.
Do keep in mind, however, with all the good Buenos Aires has to offer, there is a dark mood at times. Watch your step, know your surroundings and mind your belongings at all times. If you are used to being flashy, don't be.
As I sit and share Buenos Aires with you, my mind wanders to my schedule. When can I trek back to this city I've grown to admire and appreciate? Do I really need a reason to visit Buenos Aires? For me, just being there is enough.

Hong Kong Central IFC 香港中環國際金融中心
- Using Olympus M. Zuiko Digital ED 9-18mm f/4-5.6
Central (also Central District) is the central business district of Hong Kong. It is located in Central and Western District, on the north shore of Hong Kong Island, across Victoria Harbour from Tsim Sha Tsui, the southernmost point of Kowloon Peninsula. The area was the heart of Victoria City, although that name is rarely used today.
As the central business district of Hong Kong, many multinational financial services corporations have their headquarters in the area. Consulates general and consulates of many countries are also located in this area, as is Government Hill, the site of the government headquarters. The area, with its proximity to Victoria Habour, has served as the centre of trade and financial activities from the earliest days of the British colonial era in 1841, and continues to flourish and serve as the administrative centre after the transfer of sovereignty to China in 1997.
The International Finance Centre (abbr. IFC, branded as "ifc") is an integrated commercial development on the waterfront of Hong Kong's Central District.
A prominent landmark on Hong Kong Island, IFC consists of two skyscrapers, the IFC Mall, and the 55-storey Four Seasons Hotel Hong Kong. Tower 2 is the second tallest building in Hong Kong, behind the International Commerce Centre in West Kowloon. It is the fourth-tallest building in the Greater China region and the eighth-tallest office building in the world, based on structural heights; by roof height, only the Taipei 101, Shanghai World Financial Center, Willis Tower, International Commerce Centre and Burj Khalifa exceed it. It is of similar height to the former World Trade Center. The Airport Express Hong Kong Station is directly beneath it.
IFC was constructed and is owned by IFC Development, a consortium of Sun Hung Kai Properties, Henderson Land and Towngas.
In 2003, Financial Times, HSBC, and Cathay Pacific put up an advertisement on the facade that stretched more than 50 storeys, covering an area of 19,000 m² (0.2 million square ft) and a length of 230 m, making it the world's largest advertisement ever put on a skyscraper.
