Empress Garden, situated bang in the middle of Pune, is a treasure hove of exotic plants and flowers, hordes of trees, and a haven for the privacy deprived "love birds" of Pune.
In order to avoid crowds, I set off one early morning- I was there at 6.30 am, which is inhuman for me on a SUNDAY morning.
Amongst the regulars of Joggers, power walkers and gossiping ladies, I was busy trying to get some pics using the combination of early morning lighting, beautiful surroundings and the prefect subjects.
Its awesome how I have been there earlier on numerous occassions, but have never been able to appreciate it as I could that morning.
What wonders a camera in hand can do- other than opening your eyes to a different picture for similar situations, it also adds to unwanted attention- like an oversized, trying to get in shape homosapien, with his mobile blaring music screwing up the serene surroundings and asking me : "photoing birds?" - hinglish at its best.
Other than that, it was a great few hours spent there- I should definitely visit Empress Garden again,because the rains will add a totally different hue to it.
And not to forget- they have a great play area for kids too.....
The Empress garden is very much popular among the people of Pune as the best identify for a one-day journey. The eye relaxing great thing about the plants in the garden always draws attention. You can't find such relaxing and peaceful place like this available in the other fast paced town like Pune. places to visit in pune
