Hussain Sagar (Telugu: హుస్సేన్ సాగర్) (Urdu: حسين ساغر) is a lake in Hyderabad, India, built by Hazrat Hussain Shah Wali in 1562, during the rule of Ibrahim Quli Qutb Shah. It was a lake of 24 square kilometres built on a tributary of the River Musi to meet the water and irrigation needs of the city. There is a large monolithic statue of the Gautam Buddha in the middle of the lake which was erected in 1992. In the end of the Hussain Sagar one can find the Masjid and Dargah of Sayed Maa.
Built in the 16th century the lake was named to express the gratitude of Ibrahim Quli Qutub Shah to Hussain Shah Wali who helped him to recover from illness. It is a sprawling artificial lake that holds water perennially, built during the reign of Ibrahim Qutub Shah, across a tributary of the river Musi in 1562. Linking the twin cities of Hyderabad and Secunderabad, the lake and its environs have several parks and scenic spots. The broad road on the tank bund is lined with lawns. The well laid out Lumbini park located in the Buddha Purnima project has a musical fountain.
An 18-meter high monolithic statue of Lord Buddha towers over the lake from atop the Rock of Gibraltar. The idea of erecting a giant monolith Buddha statue in the midst of Hussain Sagar lake on the Gibraltar rock was a part of the Buddha Poornima project in 1985. The statue was chiseled out of a white granite rock, weighting 450 tons. It was carved by 200 sculptors for two years. The statue was transported to Hyderabad in November 1988. After initial problems, the statue was erected on 12 April 1992 on a red lotus pedestal. Attached to it, Lumbini park was inaugurated with musical fountains, bonsai plants and a boat ride from Lumbini Park to the statue. The whole atmosphere reflects peace and perseverance.

Gautama Buddha or Siddhārtha Gautama Buddha (Sanskrit: सिद्धार्थ गौतम बुद्ध; Pali: Siddhattha Gotama) was a spiritual teacher from the Indian subcontinent, on whose teachings Buddhism was founded. The word Buddha is a title for the first awakened being in an era. In most Buddhist traditions, Siddhartha Gautama is regarded as the Supreme Buddha (P. sammāsambuddha, S. samyaksaṃbuddha) of our age, "Buddha" meaning "awakened one" or "the enlightened one." Gautama Buddha may also be referred to as Śākyamuni (Sanskrit: शाक्यमुनि "Sage of the Śākyas"). The Buddha found a Middle Way that ameliorated the extreme asceticism found in the Sramana religions.
The time of Gautama's birth and death are uncertain: most early 20th-century historians dated his lifetime as c. 563 BCE to 483 BCE, but more recent opinion dates his death to between 486 and 483 BCE or, according to some, between 411 and 400 BCE. UNESCO lists Lumbini, Nepal, as a world heritage site and birthplace of Gautama Buddha. There are also claims about birth place of Gautama Buddha to be Kapileswara, Orissa or Kapilavastu at Piprahwa, Uttar Pradesh He later taught throughout regions of eastern India such as Magadha and Kośala.
Gautama is the primary figure in Buddhism, and accounts of his life, discourses, and monastic rules are believed by Buddhists to have been summarized after his death and memorized by his followers. Various collections of teachings attributed to him were passed down by oral tradition, and first committed to writing about 400 years later.

Well well well, I thought my eyes were deceiving me when I spotted some 2018 Jurassic World themed Matchbox models in a Toymaster store recently but had no idea that the Legacy series would also be coming here to the UK. This time you can thank Smyths Toys for stocking the FULL series in both singles and multi sets and the store I visited must have just put them out as their were masses of them. A quick bit of advice though if you fancy some of these models, they ARN'T in the diecast aisle, they are amongst other movie themed toys in a different section.
There has been a lot of hype surrounding these new models and I have to say most movie/TV film related diecasts I buy i've never actually watched the related programmes but for Jurassic Park there is plenty of love. I've watched every film they have brought out from seeing the first one back in 1993 to the latest :-)
The model itself is of the poor 1993 Ford Explorer which got a lot of abuse in the first film eventually getting squashed by a dinosaur and has been captured very well by Matchbox complete with its viewing panels in the roof to its front bull bars and authentic livery. Mint and boxed.

The roses in our gardens are in overdrive at the moment. With way more than 100 bushes they are everywhere! This is a good thing for our garden party today. I have loads to do to get ready for it so I won't have much Flickr time until after the festivities.

Enjoy your Sunday!

Today was my first day of classes. Everything was pretty normal except for this problem I've been having with my microecon class! I went to the lecture this morning even though I'm not technically enrolled in the class, and then went to the prof afterwards to ask how I could sign up, because when I tried enrolling online it wouldn't let me because it said there was a pre-requisite I needed in order to get in.
Apparently this pre-req gets covered by this math placement test I took over 3 semesters ago during my freshman orientation, so I went to this one office to find out how I scored to see if I met the pre-req. Apparently I got a 40% on the math placement test and you need at least a 57%, sooo this obviously was a problem. The lady there told me that they're administering the test every day this week at the library, so I'm going to take it sometime this week and HOPEFULLY I pass. If not, I'll be stuck taking Algebra II instead of micro, because that's what type of math is on the exam.
And I reeeally don't want to take that because I took Algebra II when I was a soph in high school, and I really don't want to be taking the same class as a soph in college. That, and it would be a waste of a semester class that could be spent taking something more important.
sigh sigh apple pie. Sorry for the rant, guys. All of this was just really unexpected and now I have no clue what to study -__-
Please do not use without crediting me or informing me first. Thank you.

I could use one right about now. Although its not as hot as daytime here in Atlanta, its still pretty dang hot!
Just my anecdotal depiction of flickers "explore". Pumpkins on the wagon equal "EXPLORE". Sassy and I went to the local pumpkin patch today. It's October. Why not? Lot's of folks with their little one's, creating October memories, picking out "jack-O-lanterns". We were of the minority, old empty nester's, vicariously enjoying the event. Too much screaming and we just walk away. You know what I mean if you're 55 and older and have the AARP invites comin' in the mail,..........screamin' kids are a option. Unless you're one of those old guy's, getting AARP invites in the mail, with a trophy wife that wanted kids younger than she was. I'm thankin' God I can't relate. I've got a trophy wife. She gets AARP invites in the mail and just wants grand kids.

The 2015 Explore@NASAGoddard event, on Sept. 26, celebrated the 25th anniversary of the launch of the Hubble Space Telescope. Investigating everything from black holes to planets around other stars, Hubble has ushered in a new chapter of humanity’s exploration of the universe, and the venerable telescope continues to answer some of the most compelling astronomical questions of our time.
Additionally, all areas of Goddard’s research – Earth science, heliophysics, planetary science, astrophysics, and engineering and technology – were presented, as each discipline plays a critical part in NASA's ongoing journey to reach new heights, reveal the unknown and advance scientific understanding for the benefit of humankind.

While I was was getting buzzed by a hummingbird and watching egrets wade, my furry feline was poking around in the fig tree, biting branches and exploring his world.
He has a good life.
There was some kind of demonstration around the Palais de Chaillot when we visited and I saw these 3 Gendarme looking quite menacing. I really wanted to get a shot of them but not too obviously as I was a bit scared of them! Just at the point of me taking a couple of shots they started smiling and laughing hence looking a lot less menacing.
Explored on July 5th, really appreciate all your views, comments and favourites.
