sketches from London - 1

I went to London in end Oct... I visited the National Gallery on friday evening with an intent of attending one of the guided tour... I reached earlier and got some time to do a quick sketch of Trafalagar Sqaure... The guided tour was nice.. The guide covered about 8 paintings and its a good insight apart from the obvious visual treat... I went back again next day for a detailed visit of the gallery... more sketches later...

sketch from pondicherry

I went to Pondicherry in July with some friends... I like Pondicherry a lot... the cafes, beachfront, weather and general attitude here is such that one tends to forget the usual stress in life and relax a bit... We stayed at Mango Hill and the experience was nice... this was the view from our room down the pool... interestingly the balcony of the room was such that it extended over the pool... and having been made of wooden planks placed apart, you could see the blue water underneath...
