Apple Unveils 3G iPhone

Today, June 9th 2008, Apple is suppose to raise the curtains over much awaited 3G version of iPhone in its Worldwide Developers Conference 2008 (WWDC) at San Francisco. As I was searching for updates on this, I found this interesting blog, where the author is blogging live from the WWDC. He just confirmed the announcement that the price for 8GB iPhone is $199 and for 16GB it is $299!. It has a build in GPS, as expected. Wow..I need to refresh his page every minute now as it is becoming more and more exciting....

A Complete Rainbow

With the temperature soaring up to 40°C (with humidity) in Ottawa, I can't believe it was the same temperature with just a "-" (minus) sign, just 3 months back!. In between we had rains on several occasions. On one such rainy day, looking out of my same old big window, I was sure that I am going to see a rainbow that day. The sun was setting behind my apartment and there were clouds raining in the opposite direction(Yeah, then I applied my Primary school Physics there..). But I was wondering, if I could ever see a complete rainbow as opposed to just a part of it, like an arc, which I have always seen. Minutes passed, then wow!, to my surprise it was a complete rainbow that to a double one emerging on the sky. Though I couldn't photograph from end to end because of the place where I was standing, I still I managed to get some decent shots of it...

Amazing Evening Sky

It was a cloudy weekend two weeks back. Black cloud covered Ottawa city like an umbrella. My wife said "wow!" looking out of the big window from the hall. The sun was about to say bye and his magical colours beamed over the clouds just for few minutes. I acted quick to catch those amazing skies on my camera...

Tulip festival in Canada.

The Canadian Tulip Festival, said to be the largest of its kind, is celebrated around first three weeks of May. During Second World War, Holland's exiled royal family was given a safe heaven in Canada. In appreciation of this help and also in recognition of the role played by Canadian troops in the liberation of Netherlands, Princess Juliana of the Netherlands presented Ottawa with 100,000 tulip bulbs. The most interesting part is; during their time in Canada, Princess Juliana gave birth to Princess Margriet at the Ottawa Civic Hospital. The maternity ward where she was born was officially declared as a temporary part of the Netherlands, so that the new born Princess stays a Dutch citizen. From past six decades, Tulip Festival is celebrated to rejoice this symbol of International friendship.

Nearly 3 millions tulips are planted in and around Ottawa this year. Parliament Hill, Major's Hill Park and Commissioners Park are the three major areas of attraction during this festival.
