In-between moments can be just as memorable as grand finales. This week, share a photo you took on the way to something else.
By When I travel, my camera is usually the third thing into my bag, after my passport and wallet. Lately, though, the camera hasn’t been making it into the bag at all — it stays on me, so I can take photos out the airplane window.
There’s often too much haze or cloud cover to get great shots from 35,000 feet, and I don’t have any specialized equipment, just my regular ol’ camera. But sometimes light and landscape are on my side and I can grab photos like this one, made as my plane descended into Amsterdam’s Schiphol airport. In early May, swaths of tulips cover the Dutch landscape; kilometer-long brushstrokes of color turn the countryside into a huge art piece:
For this week’s photo challenge, stop and photograph the metaphorical roses (or the literal tulips). Share a shot of something you saw, did, or experienced on the way: a photo not of your destination, but of an interesting thing along the way. Show us something stunning others might have missed, or find some unexpected beauty in a mundane moment. Maybe we can all start looking at the in-betweens a bit differently!
Fabulous! I finally had a photo just waiting that fitted the prompt!

That must be one of the most perfect patchwork quilts you’ll see anywhere! Difficult not to appreciate the in betweens on the way when one sees sights like this! 😉

I love the photos from the air too, but I had no problem with deciding on the photo I’ll share – one from the ground. 🙂

On the way there, you might see some signs posted. Are they helpful or merely confusing? http://scillagrace.com/2015/05/29/weekly-photo-challenge-signs-along-the-way/
