It is always exciting to see famous landmarks when I’m traveling. But I also like to notice other things in addition to the places I either read about or saw pictures of in books and magazines. The more I travel the more I remember details of a place such as doors, signs, some flowers or even a simple bench. As I walked around Milan I saw so many details and they have become part of the experience of being there. When I look at these pictures I know that although they are less recognizable they are just as meaningful as I look back at my time in Milan. Here are some examples of what I mean.
Along a path
Classic name
Door from a castle
Souvenir display
Reflections in a sign
A simple bench
This looked like a fun way to get around in Milan, and there was even a bicycle traffic light.

I like that traffic light! I agree, it’s the special things one finds that make the memories. Famous places are fine, but I can usually find those on a postcard–with a perfect photo.

That traffic light is a great idea. I love the castle door, with its iron gate and overgrown stairs – very intriguing!

I love the images you come away with. Downspouts usually end up in mine. I find them so interesting when they’re shaped like gargoyles, fish, dragons. And such a nice touch!
