busch gardens - Tampa - Two of the best roller coaster there






Visited the famed Busch gardens of Tampa, overall its a pretty nice park.Its more like a Zoo+ amusement park but does not have much rides though.Here are two rides which i found best and sat on twice.

Shuttle Atlantis - STS 132 last flight

Two days back I saw the Space shuttle Atlantis launch off for the last time. It was the grandest and most spectacular event i have ever seen in my life. What makes it even more special is i had the best seat that was possible for anybody from the public to have.

This is how i saw it from the place i was - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ESk0mFt_-E4

Infact the view for me was better ,i had a Nikon binocular which had a 10-22X Zoom which i specifically purchased for this event and the shuttle was much larger in my view finder.

Being a Space Buff it had been a life long dream of mine to see a live shuttle launch and i FINALLY DID IT!!YooHooo... It was a glorious cloudless clear blue sky day with the best possible view and i simply could not have asked for anything better. I have got some spectacular launch shots(hey!! These are my best shots with my ability,i got lucky with my auto settings,love my D300) from my camera which i will post later on my Flickr link.


I feel like a million bucks!!
