Change Your Perspective

We have mentioned before that we like taking photos from above the places that we are visiting, that it provides a unique perspective that can’t be found from just walking the streets. The also is true when flying, when you get a chance to see cities, towns, or the countryside in unique and different ways. For this week’s Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge, Looking Down at Things, we found some recent examples that remind us of how lucky we have been to visit so many amazing places. The first photo is actually of a sunset where the sun was setting below the clouds during our flight to Athens in January. We also chose a photo of the Carpathian mountains from our flight home from Romania. Finally, we chose photos from Paris and Amsterdam from the past couple of weeks. We hope that you enjoy the images as much as we enjoyed having the opportunity to capture them.

Old Streets, Modern Paris in the Distance

One Giant Step Leads to Another

When astronaut Neil Armstrong claimed that one small step for man was a giant leap for mankind, he captured a sentiment that all those who explore have known throughout their lives. It takes leaps of faith to venture and go forth and by doing so, we grow as human beings and our societies become more evolved. There are certainly arguments to be made that by simply visiting other places, we change them forever just by our presence. That is probably true for many reasons, it is a simple rule of quantum physics that observing a reaction by its very nature changes the interaction itself. Regardless of whether the world is better off for the increase in global interactions, it is certainly the way of the future. We have enjoyed seeing a variety of sights throughout our travels and perhaps we have changed the places that we have visited, but we know for sure that those travels have changed ourselves and shaped our lives. For this week’s Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge, Crawling or Flying, we decided to select a few photos from our recent trips that inspire us to spread our wings and fly or simply take a few steps towards the future.

The World Outside of Your Window

It is fair to say that over the past few months, the view outside of our window has changed on a weekly basis. Often, just for ourselves, we will take photos from our hotel room or even through the windows of some historic location that we are visiting. For Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge this week, Inner and Outer, we decided to revisit a few of these images. There are some definite variations of looking out upon the world that surrounds us. In some ways, it reminds us that we simply need to step through the threshold and seek the world and it will open itself before your very eyes.
