Glance Digitally - Travel the world with me virtually !

 I have started writing my travel articles for this blog since few days again and didn't get time to post it online.  I will probably post regularly from now onwards without any delay.  Dear readers, watch out for new posts on my blog https://sk-digilance.blogspot.com/ Few months ago, I visited Hamilton Viewpoint Park , a popular spot for tourists and locals located in the West Seattle neighborhood that offers panoramic views of the city skyline, Elliott Bay and the Olympic Mountains.  We went towards hillside and stopped at a small parking lot with a grassy area that is great for picnics and saw few benches to sit and enjoy the views. There was also a play area for children and a small shelter that can be reserved for private events. It's an amazing spot for photography, esp the panoramic views of the city which is often used as a backdrop. If you are visiting Seattle, I would highly recommend checking out Hamilton Viewpoint Park for its stunning views of the city and the surr

  If you all read my previous article about "Hamilton Viewpoint Park" ->  https://sk-digilance.blogspot.com/2023/02/hamilton-viewpoint-park-seattle.html ,  after visiting this place we were on our way to one of my Favourite place in Washington, one of the world's most recognizable brand -  " The Starbucks Center " -  the headquarters of the global coffee giant @ Seattle,  a must-visit destination for coffee/ Tea lovers. I must say, I am a tea lover and my spouse is a coffee lover. The headquarters is the largest  and oldest multi-tenant building. An impressive building with an interesting history. It was originally built in 1912 as a Sears, Roebuck & Co. distribution center and was converted into the headquarters of Starbucks in 1997. The building has undergone extensive renovations to transform it into a modern, sustainable workspace that reflects the company's values. While the Starbucks Center is primarily a working office building, it is also ope

Bellevue Arts Museum ( also known as BAM), a nonprofit organization established in 1975 is located in Bellevue, Washington across from Bellevue Square and has a history of hosting a diverse range of exhibitions and programs that explore a variety of themes and artistic mediums every season. The architectural model of Bellevue Arts Museum was designed by Steven Holl ( an architect) which opened in 2001. The building is a three floors distinctive and modern architectural design featuring a blend of concrete, glass and steel. This museum's mission is to provide a platform for artists to showcase their work and to engage the community in dialogue about contemporary art and culture. I recently visited this art Museum last week and to my bad luck only first floor was open for showcasing "Hamed Shirzadian's jewelry" and "Brain Injury Art Show" and the remaining floors were closed due to renovation. However, I loved both the showcasings - Hamed Shirzadian's jew

It's November and today we had the first snow ❄❄ of the season which is quite early compared to previous years.

Every year on Govardhan we go to ISKCON temple for the Govardhan puja. The temple is beautifully decorated with strings of flowers and lights. So few may ask, What is a Govardhan puja? As you all know by now (if you have read my articles on Diwali ) that Diwali/ Deepavali is one of the biggest festivals celebrated and is celebrated for 5 days starting on the 13th day after the full moon or "Poornima" (is the word for full moon in Sanskrit). Day 1- Dhanteras. People worship Goddess Lakshmi ( Goddess of wealth) and Lord Kubera (God of wealth). Day 2 - On 14th day we celebrate Narak Chaturdashi or "Choti" Diwali which commemorates Lord Krishna and Satyabhama's victory over the demon king Narakasura. Day 3 - On 15th day which is Amavasya (or No moon day) we celebrate Diwali. Goddess Lakshmi and Lord Ganesha are worshipped everywhere.  Day 4 - On 16th day we celebrate Govardhan Puja and we worship Lord Krishna.  Day 5- On 17th day we celebrate Bhai Doo
