CHAPTER 5

As you travel, what often stands out most during your experience and in your memories are the obvious—the castles, the cathedrals, the canyons, and the cliffs. These are the big attractions, the icons that take your breath away. Now, think back on your favorite journeys and focus on the little things that collectively helped shape your experience—colorful murals on walls, the unique regional fabrics and textiles, bright mosaic floors, or the abundant local flowers. These are the vital details that help embody culture and define sense of place. Focus your camera toward these elements and you’ll discover that they are far from trivialities. They are the spices that flavor your experience.
