Places I want to go

anywhere. Pretty much. They are very few places I wouldn't visit and every time I check out other VT pages the ones that were on my 'don't care to visit' list are suddenly in my dream list.

My Flat Iron Travel Photo Collection

Most people collect a little something from each place they visit...

I collect a few things, shot glasses, decks of cards. Many of my collections began when I was younger (the shot glass collection especially). They might be cheesy but they're always fun to bring out at parties...good conversation pieces or not, whatever...you can drink out of them.

My favourite though, is my collection of flat-iron / triangle building photos. Almost every major city has one. I don't go out of my way to find them, or travel to particular locations because one exists there but if I see one....I snap a shot.

Anyway, I'd like to share my collection (it's quite small still as I've only recently started it) and I'd love to hear about what others collect (if anything).

Check out my collection

Enjoy!

We have a Flat Iron here in Columbus Ohio. It's a very unique building and wonderful resturant. Next time you're in Columbus, which I know will probably be next week, be sure and get a picture and check out the fare. Columbus has great things to offer.
