#289 Wow! San Francisco…

Last year on my trip to US, I visited San Francisco during one of the weekends. San Francisco, or SFO is characterised by a high standard of living, and high income working groups. The Silicon Valley is just around the corner, and that attracts a very large number of immigrants from many other countries especially India and China.
My first impression of SFO was “Wow! What a beautiful city!” and I would say I am happy to stick with that. A city that has both hills and sea, is truly a gifted place to be. People say that the weather in California is amongst the best in the United States. The ample warm sunshine was a pleasant break from the cold Chicago. Lovely tree lined streets, nice breeze, lots of people on the street, awesome street side food, great entertainment, excellent public transport, lots of Mexican babes… are just few of the many things that come to my mind when I think back of San Francisco… :)
The flight from Chicago to San Francisco is more than 4 hours long, but flies over some of the most beautiful landscape like the Rocky Mountains…

A picture speaks a thousand words… who said so? Someone did! Haa…
Spanning over 200 galleries, and maybe more… The Art Institute of Chicago has so much to offer, paintings, photographs, sculptures and much more than just that. From Peru to Alaska, from Paris to Egypt, from India to Korea, they have everything from every continent on earth. Here are just the few of them that I could capture on my camera, not because I ran out of memory card or batteries or energy, but I ran out of the will to take photos. The beauty of art took me over…

The most beautiful season I have ever seen… is almost finished over here…
The beginning of November, marks the beginning of colder days, subzero temperatures and snow flurries…
It was the first time I saw such a beautiful fall, or it was the first time I saw fall AT ALL.
Here are some of the pics I took in Evanston, my way to wish it goodbye.

Maybe, my views about US are changing… And I do not doubt that it is the greatest country in the world.
From bustling cities to affluent locations, it has everything to offer…
Like, what I found in NY is this…
Madison Square Garden: World’s largest arena. Watched Wintuk (Cirque du Soleil) here.
Do you know this place?
