Yesterday, I went out to a park I've never been to before and it was absolutely gorgeous! I really only stayed in this little section at the beginning of the trail because there was a creek and bridge I couldn't resist, but I'll definitely be going back soon to explore even further.

 

p.s. I tried changing the color of this dress, but a few specific parts refused to change color, so I settled on keeping it how it is. Does anyone have any tips for how to deal with stubborn areas when color changing? Send me a message if you do!

New Town Eco Park (officially Prakriti Tirtha) is an urban park in Rajarhat, Kolkata. The park is situated on a 480 acres (190 ha) plot and will surround a 104 acres (42 ha) waterbody with an island in the middle. The park was conceptualised by Chief Minister of West Bengal, Mamata Banerjee in July 2011. West Bengal Housing Infrastructure Development Corporation (HIDCO) is the overarching body coordinating the construction of the park, along with different other government bodies responsible for implementation of different works inside the park. The park has been divided into three broad parts; 1) ecological zones like wetlands, grasslands, and urban forest, 2)theme gardens and open spaces, 3)and urban recreational spaces. The Eco Park will be further divided into different sub-parts according to the different types of fauna planted. According to the plan, the park will have different areas like wild flower meadows, a bamboo garden, grasslands, tropical tree garden, bonsai garden, tea garden, Cactus Walk, a heliconia garden, a butterfly garden, a play area and an amphitheatre. Further, there is plan to develop an eco-resort in public-private partnership, and will also include an area where handicrafts from different part of the state will be exhibited. The park was inaugurated on 29 December 2012 by Mamata Banerjee.

EDITED: Eeee! My snapshot got picked to appear on explore! www.fluidr.com/photos/fae_linette/7045575465/

 

This is what I wore to the Chop Zuey casting this past Sunday in order to try out to be a print model for their new jewelry collection...

 

This was my version of Monet's pink house painting, where he had his gardens... And included a part of his Japanese influence into this look.

 

I'm hoping maybe I can get a headshot out of this if others were to pile it up? But do as you please with it. *smiles*

Gangolihat is a small Himalayan hill town in the Pithoragarh district of Uttarakhand, India. It is tehsil and sub divisional headquarters of the district. Gangolihat is famous for its Shakti Peethas of Hat Kalika of goddess Kali. Nearby at 'Patal Bhubneshwar', underground caves are major tourist attraction. Also nearby are the tiny hill stations of Chaukori and Berinag.From Gangolihat Panchchuli peaks and Nanda Devi are clearly visible.

 

Gangolihat is located at

29.48°N 80.05°E. It has an average elevation of 1,760 metres (5,773 feet). It is 78 km from Pithoragarh. The main town is at a hill top. The region is surrounded by two rivers Saryu and Ramganga. Which meet at Ghat at the foothill of the region. These two rivers make it like a Garland on the shoulders of mighty Himalaya. These two rivers gave the name to the region Gang (River in local dialect) + Awali (Garland) making Gangawali. Which became Gangoli later on. and Hat were the main markets/ gathering place for local people in past. Which made the name of Gangolihat.

 

Gangolihat is native of Pant Brahmins mainly. Along with Pant's, Joshi's, Upreti's, Pathak's, Mahar's, Negi's, Bisht, Rawal's, Verma's, Shah and Aryas are other major surnames found.

 

Gangolihaat is famous for its ancient temples and underground caves. 'Haat Kalika', 'Ambika Dewaal', 'Chamunda Mandir', 'Vaishnavi Mandir' are some of the famous temples here. 'Vaishnavi Mandir' is a special one because from here one can clearly view the Himalayas. This temple is situated on a mountain that is called 'Shail Parvat', which is notable in Hindu holy books.

 

There are many beautiful underground caves in Gangolihaat. 'Patal Bhuvneshwar', 'Shailashwer Gufa' and 'Mukteshwar Gufa' are most notable ones. A new underground cave has been also found recently and that is called 'Bholeshwar Gufa'.

 

'Haat Kalika Mandir' was chosen by Adi Guru Sankaracharya for installation of Mahakali Shaktipeeth. It is believed that the Original Goddes Kalika Mata, which supposed to be in West Bangal, shifted her place form Bangal to Gangolihat. This Temple is very famous all over the India, specially among Indian Armed Forces. Posthumous Param Veer Chakra award winner Capt. Bikram Batra was a great devotee of Goddess. The goddess Mahakali is the designated goddess of brave Kumaun Regiment which proved its unmatched bravery and patriotism during all major wars fought by India. Kumaun regiment has created an Army Rest House near the Temple for Army Personnel, who come Gangloihat to get the blessing of Goddess.

 

There are historical monuments made during 8-11th century near the famous temple. Which is a site preserved by Archaeological Survey of India (ASI). It depicts the nervelessness of the artistic creation at that time.

 

The highest peak in the range, Lankeshwar is a great picnic place. The view of greenery rich valleys of Kumaun Himalayas from this hilltop is memorable and heavenly.

I went out and explored today, I walked about a mile and a half (felt like more) and grabbed some shots. I was real careful to not have an encounter with a rattle snake. I did see a doe and her fawn.. Very beautiful day!! Warm temps and very light breeze.

The Water Tower had an older feel to it. The doors were a bit 70's and we found some old newspaper from 1974. This door just begged us to be opened and its secrets inside to be explored. We gladly obliged....

The City of New York, often called New York City or simply New York, is the most populous city in the United States. Located at the southern tip of the State of New York, the city is the center of the New York metropolitan area, one of the most populous urban agglomerations in the world.

 

A global power city, New York City exerts a significant impact upon commerce, finance, media, art, fashion, research, technology, education, and entertainment, its fast pace defining the term New York minute. Home to the headquarters of the United Nations, New York is an important center for international diplomacy and has been described as the cultural and financial capital of the world.

 

Situated on one of the world's largest natural harbors, New York City consists of five boroughs, each of which is a separate county of New York State. The five boroughs – Brooklyn, Queens, Manhattan, The Bronx, and Staten Island – were consolidated into a single city in 1898.

 

New York City traces its origin to its 1624 founding in Lower Manhattan as a trading post by colonists of the Dutch Republic and was named New Amsterdam in 1626. The city and its surroundings came under English control in 1664. New York served as the capital of the United States from 1785 until 1790. It has been the country's largest city since 1790.

We spent a week in New York City in May, aiming to explore the city beyond Manhattan and enjoy vibrant moods of this never-sleeping megalopolis.

 

Walking is arguably the best way to explore the city, and combined with large subway system one may spend weeks still not having visited and seen everything.
