^ Be sure to check the last few pages too, they've been recently updated with some good pictures too ---- The first few and the last few, all the middle pages are just articles.

Also Viru, that forum is a good place to see how progress in major cities is coming along in terms of infrastructure, projects, upcoming work etc. They have dedicated sections for each of the cities.

^ Be sure to check the last few pages too' date=' they've been recently updated with some good pictures too ---- The first few and the last few, all the middle pages are just articles.[/quote'] Yes I am checking. There are more articles and less photos. And most of the photos are of low resolution. I need around 2000 pixels resolution photos for my theme and I need around 10 good photos HQ photos. Still searching though it seems it will be hard finding them. I am quite surprised as to how so less photos are there this time. I am still scrubbing the net for HQ photos but am running a bit out of luck. Will keep on trying. The best photos I can find are in facebook but fb resizes the photos. I dont see any option to download/view the facebook photos in full size. Also searched on flickr. Maybe will need some more head scratching to find even the 10 photos. :nervous:

If you like those pictures, I can download them and resize them for you.

Security very tight,i will get my breefing tommarow.

If you like those pictures' date=' I can download them and resize them for you.[/quote'] Hi sree, can you resize without breaking the pixels. Those photos would need to be almost doubled or tripled in size to reach 1920 pixels width which I use. I am not sure if they would retain the high quality after expanding that much.
