I tend to like to take pictures of landscapes. That’s probably because I prefer to focus more on the bigger picture than on minutia. But sometimes taking a closeup lets you examine the important details you might otherwise miss. Here are some closeups from our travels in Australia and France (arranged by category). We’ll continue to update this over the next couple of months as we explore more of Europe.
