Cities aren’t like people; they live on and on, even though their reason for being where they are has gone downriver and out to sea. -John Updike. No matter how ardent a traveller you are, there is always room to explore more. Almost all of us seek refuge from the madness of modern, urban life and wish to settle in a place which is calm and slightly slow-paced. We travel miles to find that perfect place, often going abroad to seek peace and solace. However, sometimes, paradise is right in our own neighbourhood. When I came across the following photographs, I was pleasantly surprised to know that this beautiful city was so close by!

Traversing this gorgeous water body would be a dream come true!

It's hard not to fall in love with this magnificent view.
