What do you take holiday photos of? And can that be applied to your own backyard? Well let’s see. In a new destination, seeing it with Alice-in-Wonderland eyes, I take photos of:
The main attractions
Extraordinary sights
There is usually a local cute animal…
Wildlife safari (or bug freakout moment)
Local colour
Exotic dishes
Sunset shots
Nightlife
Birds
Booze
Blue skies
Hammock shot
Friends
Obligatory landscape shots
Ok, so this was just an excuse to document the garden. Recording stuff is important – explorer Benedict Allen says so. In fact he says it’s the note-taking that maketh the traveller not the tourist.
So there.
Also inspired by the ‘travels around my living room’ reference that I can’t quite recall, if anyone can supply the source?
Tourist Vs Traveller 
Love the Booze photo anomaly
Found the reference! it’s from someone else who’s written an inspiring post about looking at your garden in micro-detail:
“Like the French soldier and writer Xavier de Maistre, who, in 1794, wrote the quirkily charming Voyage autour de ma chambre (Voyage around my bedroom) in which he explored the confines of his own room then wrote about it as if it were a great travel epic, we too can become strangers in a familiar land.”
