Red Rock Canyon, Las Vegas

Half an hour drive from Las Vegas and you reach this fantabulous Red Rock Canyon.
This beautiful landscape was created by a fracture in the earth's crust where one rock plate moved over another.

If you love nature you should definitely take a 13 mile scenic drive through these red mountains.

Freemont Street Las Vegas during Christmas.

Well there is nothing special about Christmas in these photos. Freemont is always in the festive mood. It has the largest digital screen in the world.

You should visit this place if you are going to stay more than 1 day in Las Vegas.

Christmas at Bellagio Las Vegas

Following are some of the pictures I took at Hotel Bellagio in Las Vegas on December 23, 2011.

Awesome decoration for the Christmas theme at Bellagio.

A cute lovely polar bear inside hotel/casino Bellagio.

Hey buddy! get inside the igloo, supper is ready.

The Happy Feet gang in the festive mood.

Landing on the ocean

Virgin America! Are we landing on the Pacific?

Pasta and a bottle of wine

Your holidays, chilly morning, pasta and a bottle of wine. Need I say more?

Vegas

Aerial view of Las Vegas. It looks dull during the day time but if its night time, nothing on this earth can beat Vegas. Kudos to the visionaries who converted a desert to this wonderful place.

This is another closer view of Vegas. Emphasis is on the downtown of vegas called the Strip. And this is the place where things happen.

A gloomy morning. Cloud and Rain are a very rare phenomenon at Vegas.

A Look at San Francisco

Hungry at Pier 39? This is definitely a place to eat. Pier 39 or Fisherman's wharf is definitely a place you shouldn't miss if you are at San Francisco as a tourist.

Oh my god! This is not just a school of fishes. Its an army of fishes.

Hey buddy! Did you see Nemo? Yes I did. He is busy shooting the film "Finding Nemo Part 2".

Jelly Fish! I don't know why you shouldn't be categorized into plants.

The swift take off! Hope pilots learn from this fish. I had a chance to actually touch it at Aquarium of the Bay.

Did you know that once a tortoise lays its egg, it hatches into female if the temperature is hot and into male if the temperature is cold? With global warming, guys will have a lot of options to choose from.

I guess sea + eagle = seagle. My country doesn't have any seagle. You know why? Because my country doesn't have any sea.

Golden gate bridge from below. But why do they call it golden? I thought gold was yellowish in color.

The infamous Alcatraz Prison! I wonder if any prisoner ever escaped it.

San Francisco as seen from Coit tower. Not from the top of the tower but from the bottom of the tower. The tower was already closed by the time we reached there. If you are visiting the tower, make sure you go early enough.

Beautiful Glow.

Famous Lombard Street. DMV should consider this place for some driving tests.

Early morning view of Golden Gate Bridge.

Napa Valley. If you have some time you should visit this place. Its peaceful and calm. And have some wine testing too. I guess you would enjoy more if you go there during summer. Vines would look perfect.

Sunset at Half Moon Bay.

From left to right, Mizaru: who sees no evil; Kikazaru: who hears no evil; and Iwazaru, who speaks no evil. Missing in the picture is the 4th one Shizaru who does no evil.

Its the famous china town of San Francisco. Is there any country in the world where there is no china town?

Near market street.
