Dollar Dreams !!!

When it comes to currencies of the world it is the Dollar which rules over the others, atleast until now. Earning in Dollars will give anyone the opportunity to fulfill his dreams. It might be travelling the world or any desire like that.



This picture was result of the accumulated metal currency over the years. Transactions in America are not rounded off to the nearest Dollar. Instead they go to the accuracy of a single cent. Hence there is lot of change which accumulates in every house.

Bridging the Gap

This was taken during the evening drive to San Francisco a day prior to the 2008 New years eve. I missed the DSLR which is at present freezing life in Bangalore.

The famous Golden Gate Bridge from the Vista View Point.



The Bay Bridge and the San Francisco Downtown.

San Francisco Fireworks !!!

Here are 8 Pictures, each for every year of the new millenium so far. This time I got the opportunity to welcome the New Year with thousands of revellers in San Francisco. I was in the company of one of my good friend. It reminded me of the Bangalore Revelry a couple of years back.



I have read that a lot of time (months) , efforts (team of hundreds of men) and money (thousands of dollars) goes behind these visual stimulators which last for just about 10 - 20 minutes.



An interesting information which I got is that all these various fireworks are networked before the show using computers and on the day of the show they are triggered by the press of a single button, to achive the brilliant Pyrotechnics and the flawless Synchronisation.



Watching these fireworks light up the black night sky as they erupt into an evanescent red chrysanthemums is an experience one would cherish for ever.







As the display ends the hoards of revellers who are in high spirits head back to party. There is not an inch available in the Market Street as the people walk shouting in excitement greeting one another.



Happy New Year 2008 !!!!

Happy 2008 !!!
