I got my first camera just before my first overseas business trip. I had a long layover in London so I had time to take local tours before the tour of Western Europe.

I learned all that in a photography class I took a year AFTER the trip. Compared to today, I hardly took any pictures! Just a couple at each site but I got the important tourist shots. I lost the few pictures I took in Scotland, London, Holland, Germany, and Venice, though I did get to go back and retake my London pics.
I got to see Stonehenge before they put an ugly fence around it. That day, that grass was soggy from rain before we got there and the rain clouds weren't that far away. This sketch is part oil pastel (the green) and part hard pastels.
