Today\u2019s NaBloPoMo Prompt:<\/strong> What place do you want to visit based solely on beautiful photographs that you\u2019ve seen?<\/em><\/p>\n

Yes and yes. On the one hand I see photos of tropical places and I think \u201cI want to go there, read novels and do nothing.\u201d Fortunately I\u2019ve had the opportunity to do just that. The wife and I have been to Hawaii, Puerto Rico, and Puerto Vallarta, and the Riviera Maya. We\u2019re going to San Diego next, and Costa Rica is on our to-do list, along with our fourth Hawaiian island, another Caribbean trip, and someday Miami (maybe even Cuba if that gets all cleared up in our lifetime).<\/p>\n

Pretty much any photo of someplace sunny with sand evokes this. My wife wants to try Greece, too, and as long as it\u2019s on the Mediterranean and I don\u2019t have to do anything, I\u2019ll go.<\/p>\n

The other yes is for places I see that I want to go photograph. This is pretty much the opposite of sitting around reading novels and doing nothing else. This is hiking and walking for hours and hours. Unfortunately, I didn\u2019t have the photography bug when we went to Singapore, Mumbai, London, and Rome. But I did by the time we got to Paris\u2014 I just wish we could have stayed a month.<\/p>\n

So, again, any picture of amazing views, architecture, or complicated lighting makes me want to go there and see what I and my camera can do.<\/p>\n

I have a friend who\u2019s going to Prague, and I am soooo jealous. And while I eschew going to Australia because I like having an ozone layer above me and I\u2019m terrified of the huge spiders there, you could probably bribe me with a few new lenses and I\u2019d go to New Zealand in a heartbeat.<\/p>\n
