Energy use in the higher and further education sector amounts to around £200 million a year and is responsible for the release of around four million tonnes of carbon dioxide (CO2) a year.

The University has a solar PV (Photovoltaic) system installed on the roof that generates clean electricity for use in the building.

Every KWh of electricity produced by the solar panels on the roof of buildings prevents 568 grams of CO2 (carbon dioxide) from entering our atmosphere. ( Source UEL )

This CO2 is saved by not using electricity from power stations which fossil fuel & release CO2.

In 2010/11, UEL emitted approximately 8090 tonnes of CO2 (Scope 1 and 2 emissions). The burning of fossil fuels to produce this energy leads to CO2 emissions, the main greenhouse gas that contributes to climate change. ( Source UEL)

On a foggy day with my Tutor

I took this image on a foggy evening on my way to Tate Art Gallery with my Tutor Julie Cook, to see the works of William Klien Photography.

The Cathedral was so beautifully lighted with the spot lights in the fog.

Home away from Home

 Two months & 15 days in London just enjoying my privacy.

Before leaving from India I was much concerned about my safety. Since, this is my First trip away from my country. So,I was nervous during my initial days in London. But later on the hospitality and response I received changed my mindset completely.

Stay & Food

I am staying in University Accommodation and enjoying my self cooking. This is my first time I am trying my hands on cooking. Its quiet related to photography but in its own terms.

Cooking        -     Quality + Quantity

Photography  -     Shutter + Exposure
My First dish - South Indian Food
I believe cooking is an Art.

Now, I live a total Independent life managing my stuff. It's a new learning experience.

The hospitality I am receiving here made me comfortable specially from my Tutors,Classmates & My University International Office.

The Fire safety system is perfect and there is no room for negligence or carelessness.  

The Train and Bus facilities is a  brilliant System. It is easy to reach any preferred destination on time through Bus & Trains will try to write in brief about the travel system here with photographs and more details. Its quiet interesting. The guidance you get in traveling is good so the word LOST doesn't exist.

Autumn in London

"Autumn is a second spring 
when every leaf is flower"
-Albert Camus

         Its true,the mother nature is so beautiful here. Experiencing autumn in London.
There is harmony in autumn,the skies are blue &wide open, beautiful ambience to work along with nature. I just enjoy the colors in leaves.This is a good time to photograph vibrant colors. 

I was totally happy when I clicked this image. The leaves behind the blue sky drop in a calm afternoon.

The wind is getting cold day by day here and the sunsets quiet early here by 4:30 pm and so my sleeping times are quiet long.

Missing the Chennai Monsoon.
