10 points to those who guess the location right

I’m no big quiz master… but I couldn’t resist myself from showcasing this to the world… snapshots from a place I visited very recently.
I do hope that it keeps you guessing till the end…

Here is a rock garden… with water cascading down into the pond.

                          Okay…. so, so much for the ducks, could it be….. ?

                   Anybody noticed a small shelter for the rains in the vicinity?

Orchids for the flower vase?

We indeed make nature dance to our tunes – a collection of Bonsai plants.

                                                     A walkers’ paradise?

                                              Must be enthralling at night!?

                              This should be “CLUE” enough – ring a bell?!!
And, yes it is the…….
Semmozhi Poonga, in Chennai. I bet Chennaiites must have made early guesses. If not, it is high time you guys took a turn at Cathedral road. It is  a must-see for nature lovers and anybody else who need a break from the hustle and bustle of the city.

Even within a few days of its inception, this botanical garden has added itself to the very many places worth visiting in Singara Chennai.

The place really looks stunning especially with the rains helping it keep its colour a lush green. And informative too, with the name tags for a few plants. There is a large collection of different shapes and forms of plant species, water fountains, rock gardens, ponds and streams, ducks… and even a spot dedicated to kids.

I would surely like to show off all my photographs, but I hope these few ones were rather tempting, urging you to go have a look for yourself.

Hats off to the administration, for here we have witnessed the perfect example of how with a little planning and a hell lot of green plants, an age old drive-in restaurant could turn into a bountiful landscape.
And that’s Chennai for you…!!
