Bruce, that shot is exotic to me! Beautiful....    My most commented was not  from some strange place but one which for the time was familiar to me..a fine zoo.     As for Ansel Adams, well, camping in the desert for days on end to get the "perfect lighting" is a bit exotic or perhaps esoteric to the rest of us.    That is how he got the first part of those images.

oh well, still, if I get a ticket to somewhere I will likely go...and I am with durleybeachbum on this one..stressed even thinking about it.   I have roots and find those difficult to move in comfort, even for a while.
