Karanji Kere has become one of the main attractions of Mysore these days.  Karanji Kere boasts park, birds, lake with boating and special butterfly park. You can see lot of youngsters hanging out there in the evenings. I borrowed friends camera to click few pictures.

Both the pictures were shot in macro mode. It was difficult to focus in macro mode as the camera was not SLR. Which reminds me I need to buy an SLR asap.

Karanji Kere also has a small zoo. Where actually you enter the cage to have a look at birds. Since I did not have the camera. I shot using my mobile. E61i is one of the worst mobile cameras I have seen.

On 5th of July May evening I arrived at small town of Pisa. Like any other small town this too is less crowded and there is nothing much to do other than tower of Pisa. Of course as soon as you see it you know why its called a wonder.

The Leaning Tower of Pisa (Italian: Torre pendente di Pisa) or simply The Tower of Pisa (La Torre di Pisa) is the campanile, or freestanding bell tower, of the cathedral of the Italian city of Pisa. It is situated behind the Cathedral and it is the third structure by time in Pisa’s Piazza del Duomo (Cathedral Square).The height of the tower is 55.86 m (183.27 ft) from the ground on the lowest side and 56.70 m (186.02 ft) on the highest side. The tower leans at an angle of 3.97 degrees. This means that the top of the tower is 3.9 meters from where it would stand if the tower were perfectly vertical.

I reached Paris by afternoon. Once I checked into the hostel my first visit would be Eiffel tower. So I caught the metro to reach eiffel tower. I could see it from the metro

The Eiffel Tower is an iron tower built on the Champ de Mars beside the Seine River in Paris. The tower has become a global icon of France and is one of the most recognizable structures in the world.
Named after its designer, engineer Gustave Eiffel, the Eiffel Tower is the tallest building in Paris and one of the most recognized structures in the world. More than 200,000,000 have visited the tower since its construction in 1889, including 6,719,200 in 2006, making it the most visited paid monument in the world. Including the 24 m (79 ft) antenna, the structure is 325 m (1,063 ft) high (since 2000), which is equivalent to about 81 levels in a conventional building.
