It’s hard to be in iconic places and take pictures that don’t look like a million other photos of the same place…

Evidently Hannah is getting to take ” The Grand Tour ” . Lucky she be.
Just because it may be a shot everybody takes isn’t a bad thing. If you can get a shot nobody else has done that is fine but limiting. Another one of “Their Rules” fun to break.
Can someone help me off this soap box ? I’m not as spry as I used to be.

After a certain age, maybe we need to use soapboxes with gently sloping ramps up to them…
We took Hannah on a two week trip, which isn’t quite a Grand Tour. But it WAS a grand tour.

Photographed countless times. But this one is yours which is what makes it unique.

Thanks – it’s hard to try to do something different in a place like this. Plus I was traveling with a group so I couldn’t just wander around taking pictures (which is what I usually do!).

In situations like this, I try (if possible) to be not the one who follows but the one who leads. It can be very liberating. Most people are gregarious animals and prefer following.

That is a very good plan, and I’ve used it myself. A lot.

Thanks – I didn’t have very long at here, so I didn’t have the luxury of contemplating the best angles and etc. I had to take what I could get.
