This week’s challenge makes me think of “off-season” travels, when the weather isn’t as bad as the travel guide says it will be, but  you get to experience special parts of the world without the usual hoardes of tourists at every stop.

London ‘not-in the summertime’ means not having to stand 10 people deep in front of every painting at the National Gallery.

 We had this little corner of Prague all to ourselves for a brief moment.

 Winter in Venice.

This is Colona, not far from Buenos Aires. It’s so very quaint (and quiet) in the off-season.

The usually inviting Pacific Ocean is looking unseasonably uninviting on its South American shores, in Lima, Peru.
