The response we're getting to our travel-ography.com questionnaires we sent out two weeks ago is simply amazing. Everyone is offering great ideas and suggestions, some of which I'll share with you now.
Lobster-Fest in Maine....Ireland....Hollywood....Napa Valley....King's Canyon....National Parks....Ski Trips....Nova Scotia....San Antonio....New England in Autumn....Australia....Door County, WI....England....Branson....Medora....Spain....Hawaii....Hot Air Balloons in Albuquerque, NM....Niagara Falls....Gettysburg....'Birding' or bird watching in NE North Dakota ....
These are just some of the many suggestions people have been kind enough to offer. Wow ! Let's hope we can get to all of these places and many more.
One of my favorite suggestions....that I probably wouldn't have thought of myself....is to the big annual bike rally in Sturgis, South Dakota. Photography is going to be a big part of our travels, and I can just see some burly Harley rider catching me taking a picture of the tattoo on his "momma's" behind..... I may not come back alive ! Yikes !
Clearly, one of the most popular destinations, of the options we had listed on the survey, was New York in November (or for that matter, New York anytime).
Here's a shot Linda took a little over a year ago of lower Manhattan, as viewed from the top of Rockefeller Center. We were there the day the observation deck reopened for the first time since 9-11 and were among the first people to the top to capture the breathtaking views from all sides. In this particular shot, I think Linda went a little higher than she was supposed to, resulting in a unique photograph of other photographers taking pictures of the city below.
(As always, simply click on any photograph to view it larger. Then hit 'back' on your computer to get back to this site.)
Due to the very positive response, we are organizing a trip to the 'Big Apple', with plans to go in early November. Details on this site when they are finalized.
I couldn't resist taking a photograph of this quote that we saw on a wall while traveling through the subway system.
It pretty much describes how I feel when in New York City.

PS....Encouraging words, hugs and 'virtual hugs' (through letters, emails and notes on the returned surveys) have really inspired us to go 'full speed ahead' on this project. Your excitement and enthusiasm is contagious.
