Regency Park

Regency Park



Regency Parkway is actually not a park but the place where I stayed and went to work while I was in Cary, NC in USA. But the name is very apt for the place. The whole place looked as if it was built in the midst of some huge park or forest. It is one of the most beautiful, friendly and peaceful neighborhoods I have ever visited outside India. Heh Heh.. Now don't ask me how many places I have visited outside India.. It is certainly not much, but out of the places, including some of the tourist locations, this is one place which I really loved for everything it was. 

There were trees everywhere, small creeks within the town right next to the hotel I stayed and whats more? My office is located right next to a lake. This could very well be an artificial lake, but it is not without its beauty. There were turtles, fishes and birds in the lake. Especially the Great Blue Heron, which did not mind posing for me from just a few feet away. I have never known of any birds trust the humans this much. I wish, really wish, Chennai is like this. Here are a few photos from this naturally beautiful place, as I am really struggling for words to describe it!

Beautiful, Ram! I especially like the pictures of the Great Blue Heron and the "Happy Halloween" cloud formation. I know someone, a person whom I haven't heard from in a while, who lived (perhaps still does) in Cary, NC. I visited there several years ago. Cary is a pretty city from what I remember.

I too wish our country to become as green and pollution free as Regency Park. Love the little bird on the bench.
