Tourists seeing the sights in Singapore.

Singapore is a heaven for walkers, pedestrians and cyclists. Special space for them to walk and cycle. And one thing about Singapore - the signs are loud and clear.

The city is not very crowded. Traffic is organised.

City of Xian in China

These are pictures of the city of Xian in China is not only a historical city, it is also famous for industry. Industrial zones is one of the reasons for the increasing air pollution as can be seen in the photos. This picture is taken from an upper storey of a hotel and offer's a bird's eye view of a section of the city, the section which is the commercial district.

Broad roads and swanky buildings.

Cyclists have plenty of space to ride.

Kuala Lumpur photographs

A serene view of a main street in Kuala Lumpur showing the Merdeka Square with one of its most famous buildings which is also a  historical landmark. Primarily famous for its Islamic style architecture, it was built in colonial times and today houses the courts. It has 40-metre high clock tower.

A Kuala Lumpur street with its trademark palm tree and iconic buildings in the background. A pretty street-lamp adds interest to the picture.

The skycrapers of Kuala Lumpur are impressive and ofcourse the twin towers have come to symbolize Malaysia. 

There's more to Kuala Lumpur that it's fancy buildings and skyscrapers. This picture that more than just encapsulates Kuala Lumpur, with it's metro running over a busy and bustling modern city. Fancy cars and ads in the foreground.

In the foreground there is a fancy lit-up part of a mall, and in the background the iconic Petronas twin towers of Kuala Lumpur.

All of KL is not pretty or rich. This photograph shows the housing of the poorer section of the society.

City of Roma - Pictures

These are photographs of the city of Rome (Roma in Italian). These images can give you a feel of what the city is like. The photographs depict ordinary life in the city, and not particular monuments.

This photographs shows us the river Tiber, on the banks of which Rome was built in 753 BC. It is not the longest river in Italy but is famous for being a part of Rome. In olden times the river used to regularly flood its banks until the Romans built high stone embankments (seen in the picture below) in the late nineteenth century. Today the river is enconsed in a canal, and to enjoy its beauty one has to climb down steep steps leading to the river. Interestingly, in ancient Rome, executed criminals were thrown into the river Tiber.

This is an ordinary street in Rome with shops and offices in the buildings. The photograph was taken from atop a tourist bus.

Another Roman street, with a hotel to the right of the picture.

Another quiet street in Rome. A distinctive feature of Rome are its massive and solid buildings with an old style architecture. These old buildings have been maintained well and give Rome its beauty. There are hardly an "modern" style buildings visible in the city of Rome and by that I mean ugly glass skyscrapers.

Some local people and tourists can be seen here. The horse buggy is used by tourists. A tiny car can be seen in the centre of the road.

Italy is famous for its small cars and here you can see how tiny the cars really are! Easy to park and helps traffic move faster. It is common to see these cars parked horizontally as well!

Road-side cafes are common is European cities and here is one in Rome. People hang out here for hours, just sipping coffee, or wine.

A photograph shot from a tourist bus which is nearing some ancient monument, a tourist spot.

This is a popular fountain in Rome. Not the Trevi Fountain, which is more famous, but the Piazza della Repubblica, a semi-circular piazza or plaza or square in Rome. It is one of several beautiful fountains in the city.

Bangor in Wales

Bangor is small city in Wales, Great Britain. It is one of the smallest cities in Britain. It is basically a university city and almost fifty percent of the population speak Welsh. The place is small and quite beautiful and quiet, as these photographs show. A quaint little town with one high street and lots of pubs. There is a relaxed atmosphere in the town, and the place is thronging with students.

This photograph is the main square of the city. It's got a clock tower and the shopping malls are concentrated around this area.

This photograph is of the main high street in Bangor, Wales. There are no cars here, mostly walkers. In any case one can easily walk from one end of the city to another!

An old castle at the end of one of the streets.

Bangor is a hilly place and it can get pretty tiring to walk if one does decide to! Lots of steep slopes!

There is little traffic and the traffic that is there is very organised. Before crossing you have to press a button and then the cars stop for you. The writing on the signal is in Welsh. In fact you cannot understand the language at all. There is no resemblance to English. The accent of the local Welsh people is also very different.  They consider English a foreign language and the English people as foreigners, not locals.

Some students waiting at a bus-stop.

A small roadside cafe.

The streets of Paris in pictures

These are photographs taken on the streets of Paris and there are a few photos of the canals. They capture the atmosphere of the city. Paris leaves a unique imprint in the minds of tourists.
This photograph is of a street near a canal (which connects to the river Seine)  where street painters sell their wares. A row of small shops line the pavement next to the canal and they sell curious and paintings. These are the older districts of Paris and tourists frequent these places.

This is a close-up of the canal St Martin in Paris. A few people can be seen walking on the road next to the canal.

Here is a bunch of tourists crowded onto a boat on the canal. This is one way of seeing Paris. The boat is packed with people and just going under one of the numerous bridges across the canal.

Paris as a city is not as clean as one expects it to be, although it is cleaner than Rome. Here is a shot taken from atop a tourist bus and shows a couple walking down a deserted Paris street. Litter can be seen on the side of the road. To the left of the image is part of the tourist bus from which this photograph was taken.

This is a typical Paris scene. A street cafe at the corner. People seem to spend hours sitting here, doing nothing.

Another cafe on the streets of Paris. It is evening and customers are relaxed and having a drink

These last two photographs have been lifted off a video which I took at a Paris Square. These are are stills from the video. To improve the image quality the sky was made smoother. The area is a commercial district.
