Yangmingshan-I

   The "I"in the title reveals you that there will be a sequel to this post in the near future. Yes that is true. I am really enthralled by the beauty of the Yangmingshan. It is a very big national park and I could cover only few of the destinations. I reached the mountain in the afternoon so I have less time to cover. I felt very uncomfortable yesterday in Taipei city due to the hot weather but when I reached the mountain I enjoyed the visit. There is a 12C difference in temperature between mountain(24C) and city(36C)! This mountain has lot of butterflies, dragon flies and varieties of trees. There are plenty of scenic views which are worthy viewing on a sunny day.  In fall I heard Yangmingshan is really worthy to watch. I wish I will be there soon.  
 This is only for Dr.YB. He ordered me to wear this pink trousers. I felt embraced when I reached Shinlin Night market. I found many girls wearing pink. My friends enjoyed laughing at me and even one of them told me that people may think I am gay. But by the way I am not a gay. Just I wore this not to disappoint my senior.

Summer

       When I was a high school student, I read a poem called "The School boy" written by William Blake as  a part of my curriculum. In that poem the poet explains us about the beauty of summer in the form of school boy's preference to enjoy the summer morning rather than sit and study in a dull atmosphere. I didn't realize the beauty the poet explained until few days back.  To me summer means, terrible high temperature(40+) where people die due to sun stroke. We can neither go out nor sit inside without an air conditioner.

    I really don't know wether Taiwan is an ideal place to enjoy summer but for me this is many times better than the typical Indian summer.
      We can enjoy the scenic views of dawn and dusk. Different phases of moon and her warmth under which we can enjoy skylarking with friends. Especially when sky filled with stars and pleasant crescent moon, this is really awesome to watch and spend time with our beloved. Showers in summer always have a special feel. They not only relieve us from the sun's harshness but also can recharge the whole environment. Summer can never be complete without a morning walk where  we can enjoy the songs of early birds, fluttering noises of butterflies, bees  and last but not least the cool see breeze.

  Started to capture some butterflies, although I am not an expert in taking pictures of such dynamic creatures. May be I need a professional camera to control shutter speed.
