Sometimes the most beautiful or interesting things happen or are seen on the way to our destination rather than at our destination. As they say, it’s about the journey not the destination right? Sometimes, but definitely for this post.
Below is a series of photographs taken in transition from getting to point A to point B.

Love the rainbow! Not something I see very often, when I do it’s an amazing event.

Since I moved to the PNW, I’ve seen more rainbows than all the ones I had seen in my life combined. 🙂

Thanks! It’s fun to explore. A lot of it is from spontaneous trips.

Sometimes, the journey is as important – or as photo-worthy – as the destination. Cool post Mani!
