After living in a particular area for a long time you tend to think that you've seen all of it's nooks and crannies. We often drive past areas and take in only the macro-perspective - the big picture. We seldom take the time to take a look under that bridge we drive over each day, take a walk in that forest that we pass by on our way to work, or venture into our local light industrial area to see what interesting businesses and factories trade on our doorstep.

So, take some time to explore areas of your neighbourhood that you've not yet explored. I took this photo at a seldom-seen spot along our N1 highway, about 25 kilometers outside of Cape Town.

If you're in the dark about how to take pretty photos, consider taking the online GetSmarter digital photography course. It'll teach you all the basics about taking great photos, and you never know, maybe you'll end up being a pro photographer some day! :)
