Glasson -Village of roses!

It has been ages since we had a holiday. So when we went to the mechanic to replace our car's wing (ok.. the guy who did that gave us the money!),we found that he was in Glasson. Apart from repairing and re-painitng our car, he also did the job of a tourist guide. Wasnt he so proud of his village???

    Agree with Sab. Very picturesque. What's this whole thing with taking pictures from moving cars? Is it some kind of underground movement?

    Who started it? Sab?

    I like greenery so I really loved these photographs!

    Brenny..I am sure it was started by Arfana. She stopped taking pictures while driving, after few of her Y360 friends warned her.

    Hey Brenny, I am the blog mom here of 360ians... the worry wart, overprotective kind! How can I start this movement? Grrrrr.... ;)

    Swathi~ being a friends and a fellow virgo I admonish you for taking the pics from a moving car. You can do so only if someone else is driving. Don't click and drive!!
