Favorite photos from various Canadian cities
Here is my attempt at trying a somewhat different shot of the Niagara Falls. Slowed the shutter down to 1.3 seconds to blur out the flow.
An attempt at capturing the drama at the falls from a different perspective. This is slowed down to 2 seconds that starts to lose people but not completely.
From the maid of the mist. Nothing special here other than the movement of the birds.
Happy to have caught the maid of the mist in a full rainbow

"Africa" section of the Animal Kingdom park
"The Everest Expedition" ride in the "Asia" section of Animal Kingdom is probably the most entertaining and perhaps the scariest ride I've been on. Not so much for the fall but the meticulously crafted mythology, something that Disney still remains incredibly good at.
The "Happiest place on earth" has managed to maintain its mystique and magical quality even after the all these years.
"Big Thunder Mountain Railroad" was our favorite family ride this time around. Beautifully conceptualized and constructed, this was a total joy for the kids.
Cinderella's castle beyond a bed of flowers
The Castle is amazing from every angle.
Photos from the South-Western Indian state of Kerala that rightly refers to itself as "God's own country"
Boating on Periyar Lake in the Periyar Tiger Reserve in Kerala. The Lake is a reservoir formed by the Mullaperiyar Dam on the Periyar River. 'Periyar' means 'big river' and true to its name is the largest and most important river in Kerala.
