<p>A good Nikon Wednesday to everyone. A bit of a change of pace for me, this week - just happened to have the camera along as we did some more or less random local sight seeing in our own town. Really should to that more often. So of course I was obliged to try my hand at some tourist snapshots. Here's one of the National Cathedral, just before sunset. Release your inner tourist, and share some photos!</p><div></div>

<p>I actually was a tourist last week, visiting California, which is a lot drier than Vermont for sure!</p>

<p>Went down the coast a bit, and of course had to get the standard shore shot.</p><div></div>

[Matthew Currie]

<p>Lots of tourists stopped at this point. Scenery is relative, of course. Parking lot and parched hills and a pretty face.</p><div></div>

<p>Yesterday I looked out our kitchen window and the sparrows were all lined up on the electric wires. I had to shoot fast because they quickly flew away.</p><div></div>

<p>I broke a Pyrex glass bowl which shattered into a million pieces. There was only one large piece that held together. It had such an interesting pattern of fractures I just had to do some photos of it.</p><div></div>

[sjmurray]

<p>Same chunk of broken glass bowl, this time on a white board in direct sunlight.</p><div></div>

<p>Ah, to photograph landscape is to be a permanent tourist. One way of coping with sun, blue sky and the rather horrid green our hills go in summer is to try and think in black and white - especially when faced with a slab of quartz.</p><div></div>

<p>Went kayaking on the Choptank River (Maryland) yesterday with mixed cloud decks making a cool and pleasant day on the water. The marshes have a quiet serenity. AW100.</p><div></div>

<p>From a local touristy summer thing to do - going to a car show</p><div></div>

[DawsonPointers]

<p>I wasn't a tourist this weekend; but, I watched many tourists go by from my lakeside vantage point. We all had one thing in common: we were trying to escape from the heat.</p>

<p>Second- The Self Propelled Tourist</p><div></div>
