The trip is not always about the destination, but the time you spend getting there. Stop along the way...take some back roads...change your plans...don't always be in a rush...you never know what you will find around the next corner or over the next hill...take a risk...step out of your comfort zone...most of my photography is a result of all I just described...and I wouldn't want it any other way.
