This marks my fifth post with photos from our visit to the General Patton museum in California. Which is amazing when you consider that we spent less than an hour there. Even more amazing is that I’m pretty sure I have enough photos remaining for another post or two.
I guess I shouldn’t be completely surprised that I managed to get so much great material in such a short period of time. It’s all about being in the right frame of mind as well as having inspiring subject matter. Last week on Facebook, I featured our 2007 trip to Europe for my random photo of the day.
That trip covered four major cities and lasted about ten days. I was hard pressed to find seven images I really liked to feature for the week. This week I’m posting photos from a three day trip to Amsterdam and I had enough great material to cover two weeks.
Is Amsterdam that much more inspiring than Paris, Copenhagen, Brussels and London combined? No, but the trip to Amsterdam was just my husband and I bumming around for a few days with no particular agenda, so my eyes were constantly looking for and finding great images. The bigger Europe trip was a family one organized by my dad, who thinks you can see everything you need to see in the Louvre in less than an hour. It’s hard to be inspired when you’re operating under that kind of pressure.
