It is fun to go back to where you spent your childhood and see how different your older eyes perceive, if at all. I do understand how it happens that when you live in an area you see less of it than the poeple who travel to you with the intention of seeing all of it, or at least as much of it as they can. In Chicago, there are a myriad of places I have yet to visit, but I keep trying. And, everytime I do go out to someplace new, I am amazed that it took me so long to get there. Fingers crossed I make it to all the places I chose to before time runs out :) Wonderful pictures, Stewart.<br /><br />Andrea @ From the SolAndrea @ From The Solhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00657271089899579261noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5613882486442283643.post-85470827724481051132015-07-15T02:56:33.477+10:002015-07-15T02:56:33.477+10:00What a beautiful, charming, wonderful place!

So many unspoilt unseen areas to explore still, even on your doorstep. Funny how we take things for granted when we are in the here and now.
