Rashtrapati Bhavan is an eminent monument of British empire which is situated at the west end of the 2.5km long Rajpath (Kingsway), a tree-lined avenue flanked by lawns with orderly flowerbeds and lipped hedges, with the India gate at the opposite end. It is the house of the President of India. It is a real masterpiece that was built in the British period. It was designed by the great architect Edwin Lutyens, along with Herbert Baker, and completed in 1929. Previously it was known as “Viceroy's House" till 1950.

In 1947, when India became independent, the Vicefroy’s house was re-named Government House and when the country became a republic in 1952 it was re-christened as Rashtrapati Bhavan (President Quarters). The total cost of constructing the Rashtrapati Bhavan crossed £12, 53,000 in British India.
Visitors require official permission from Government of India Tourist Office to visit Rashtrapati Bhavan. To the west of the Rashtrapati Bhavan, there is a wonderful Mughal garden which is open to the public every spring. The timings are from 9.30 am to 2.30 pm on all days except Mondays.

Atlantis on Canary Islands | tenerife canary islands

Today the shuttle Atlantis has docked with the ISS and the hatches between the two vehicles were opened at 16:18 UTC. In short, the mission STS-132 proceed as planned, except for the odd little problem with OBSS. But what caught my attention is that the approach and docking maneuver took place over the Atlantic, Portugal, Spain and France. And as always a barre for home, what I liked most is this picture of Atlantis on the Canary Islands with the island of Tenerife in the background.



The author is, of course, the prolific Soichi Noguchi.

And since we are, here are a few pictures of the Canary Islands taken from the shuttle or ISS:
