Places to Go; Places to Think About - Page Five


Some photographs aren't about people. Some are just places.

Even when there is an occasional person walking about in the snap, the picture is really about the place.

Here is a collection of such photographs; snapshots from a vacation or just a photo of a building, or a mountain, or a street. Maybe you'll see something familiar. IF you can identify any of these places, add it in the comment section.

As the real estate people say it: Location, location, location.
