Beautiful landscapes and I love the small gardens.

Adam's Fountain is the one in Charing Cross? That's what the fountain's called? :)
That looks like a beautiful place. It's elevation is almost the same as our house!
this place with all these sightseeing worthy spots seem to be a prime travel destination.
Hi, Ooty is the only place i've been to in India, for a conference. Yes it is a nice and touristy place. I still remember when i went with a participant whom i just met very early the following morning to visit the rose garden. Until now we are still very good blogging friends! By the way, what are those round things inside those round pits? Are they plants, and what for?

Why do you have so many Eucalyptus trees? Were the hills denuded of vegetation?
