Winter or summer, some of the greatest pleasures of visiting a new part of the world are captured by the photos we take along the way. Long after the vacation is completed, the pictures we’ve taken remind us of our adventures and refresh our memories of a different culture or environment. We relive the people, the entertainment, the meals, the leisure hours spent in a place faraway.
