Sanguine Tenacious Tidings

Perth

BCoF:Prompt: Perth - As a tourist, which would you rather come home with: lots of souvenirs or lots of pictures. Why?

Perth:

Because of the bicycle ride around Perth I would have to say lots of pictures. For one thing I can't really imagine where money would come from for a real world trip like we are taking. For another thing I am having a great time looking at pictures from Wikipedia and YouTube or bike rides around fascinating places. I also learned some new things about bikes while I was on this trip. It would be fun to trade my bike in on an electric bike.

In real time I took a photography class in college for journalism. I have a wonderful 35 millimeter camera with a zoom lens, that never gets enough use. It has all kinds of automatic buttons that I have fun with when I do use it. If you have read my blog for Perth you know I really liked the Spanda Sculpture by Christian de Vietvi. I would love to hang a picture of it taken by me on the wall in my house.

Picture taking is an art and if I was traveling in real time I would be using my camera to record all these places and creating albums to show off sometimes. I also like the picture taking abilities of my kindle and phone. I would take live movies of the bell tower because I would like to hear the bells ring in the Swan Bell tower.

Who knows now what I will find in Cambodia that should be recorded. Taking pictures adds to the fun of travel. Getting that perfect shot just right is a special experience to keep for all time.
