I took this picture during my stay at Stockholm, Sweden, and I found that the city seemed so calm and tranquil even at 4:30 in the evening and the view was captivating. This moved me to take out my camera and capture the shot.

Took this picture of the Taj Mahal back in April when I visited Agra for someone’s wedding. It is really a magical structure.

I really loved this place when I went to Stockholm for the first time. There was a lot of snow around and very few people on the streets. The colors of buses, buildings and road signs seemed magically enhanced thanks to the brilliant whiteness of the snow. This is a picture capturing the winter.

One of the first things I noticed when I went to Barcelona (Spain) was the vibrant red and white bikes they keep for the people to hire and ride through the city. I just loved their colors and took this picture. They call it Bicing!

Last year, I visited the beautiful Vatican City near Rome, Italy and I was truly amazed by its wonderful atmosphere and magnificent architecture. It is a city like none other and I would love to visit it once again sometime in the future. Sharing some of my pictures here.
Saint Peter’s Square (Italian: Piazza San Pietro, is located directly in front of St. Peter’s Basilica in the Vatican City, the papal enclave within Rome.

This is a view of St. Peters Square from the top of St. Peter’s Basilica.
St. Peter’s Square with an Obelisk at the center
In 1817 circular stones were set to mark the tip of the obelisk’s shadow at noon as the sun entered each of the signs of the zodiac, making the obelisk a gigantic sundial’s gnomon.
Following is the view of Vatican City Museums from the top of St. Peter’s Basilica.
The Vatican Museums
The Vatican Museums (Italian: Musei Vaticani), in Viale Vaticano in Rome, inside the Vatican City, are among the greatest museums in the world, since they display works from the immense collection built up by the Roman Catholic Church throughout the centuries, including some of the most renowned classical sculptures and most important masterpieces of Renaissance art in the world.
The vatican museums have scores of rooms filled with Frescos, which were very popular through the Renaissance.

Helsinki Cathedral is the Finnish Evangelical Lutheran cathedral of the Diocese of Helsinki, located in the centre of Helsinki, Finland.
A distinctive landmark in the Helsinki cityscape, with its tall, green dome surrounded by four smaller domes, the building is in the neoclassical style. It was designed by Carl Ludvig Engel as the climax of his Senate Square layout: it is surrounded by other, smaller buildings designed by him.

Basilica di Santa Maria della Salute, or The Basilica of St Mary of Health, commonly known simply as the Salute, is a Roman Catholic church and minor basilica located in the Dorsoduro sestiere of the Italian city of Venice. This picture was taken last year when I was in Venice. I could take only one good shot of the basilica since I was in a waterbus and other boats and waterbuses were constantly blocking the view and I also had to mind the shake. Finally, the view became unobstructed for a couple of seconds during which a quick finger did the trick.

Across Europe, in all the major cities, you will find some people in eye catching costumes according to a certain theme offering themselves to be photographed by and with tourists for a small fee in return. In the above picture, I observed this man dressed as Picasso and he stood on this small podium for hours and hours amazingly without moving more than posing for a picture for tourists who paid a Euro or for blocking other tourists like me from photographing him.
This picture was taken when I was in Helsinki, Finland last year. This was outside the Cathedral.
