With the global pandemic still going on, many of us have had to stay indoors and avoid travel or doing fun summer things. I am sure I'm not the only one yearning for freedom. I thought it would be fun to share photos of happier times, or things you long to do one day. So I'm creating a thread. Please share a photo from a time you enjoyed yourself outside of your house. Was it a vacation? A fun outing to a nearby recreational spot like a park or beach? A night out with friends? Or if you don't have a photo from your own collection, maybe it's an aspirational photo. Somewhere you've been daydreaming about.
I'll start. Here is a photo I took from my hotel room in Florence several years ago when I went backpacking through Europe by myself. It was a terrible hotel (the cheapest I could find) and my room was really sketchy. But the view was so amazing, it made up for it. I sat at that little desk and wrote postcards to my family. Earlier that day I climbed up to the top of the duomo of the Cathedral of Saint Mary (here's a link to a picture of it. If you look you can see people at the top of the dome, with a very thin railing.) It was surprising how little protection they gave people at the top; I feel like in the US they'd have all these barriers that would ruin the experience. I sat up there for a long time just marveling at the view and loving the feeling of being perched so high. It was a great day.
