Back in leafy Surrey, and some photos to show at last

View at dusk from the Winter Garden, World Financial Centre, NYC

Auberge de Paris, which I mentioned earlier - my accommodation in Montreal prior to the yoga course

My abode for 4 weeks at the Sivananda Ashram,Val Morin, Quebec - amazingly, the flower garden was even more spectacular than last year, thanks to Ambika Chaitanya's efforts!

The view from my single room (ne'er was money so well spent as when I upgraded from the dorm to a single. I got precious little sleep as it was!)

Me in front of Samadhi Estates, where Swami Vishnu Devananda lived for many years.

Back in Montreal, I climbed Mont Royal to get this view of the city and the St. Lawrence river

I returned to one of my favourite sculptures in Montreal. Funny.. I hadn't spotted this chap last time!

Back in NYC for a few days, I took advantage of the free drop-in yoga classes at the Sivananda Centre on W24th St. A veritable haven of calm :)

L thoughtfully suggests we have dinner at an Indian restaurant where I can indulge in vegetarian food (in this case a scrumptious dosa with celantro chutney - yum!) as I am still not in the mood for meat or alcohol at this point

Welcome home! Loving the photos on your blog recently. Lots of great lighting to many of them. Sigh!

On another note, I have been tagged
and thought you'd have 8 very interesting things to write about yourself. So you're it. Sorry! Come and visit for the rules (that's part of the rules).
