Wendy @farmreporter challenged me to photograph something that expresses the essence of travel. To me the essence of travel is always serendipity, the unexpected.
We arrived in Amsterdam late yesterday afternoon. After settling into our accommodation, we went wandering just looking and looking for food. A small Italian restaurant caught our eye and the menu looked interesting. Not expecting too much we decided to give it a go. What an experience! The food, the ambience, the staff, everything. In this photo, our host is making a house speciality, pasta parmigiano, prepared in a wheel of parmigiano cheese. Delicious!
Yes the wheel of cheese as a bowl was amazing.. He cooked the pasta beside the cheese wheel and then poured it into the wheel twirling it and scraping cheese into it as he went. Amazing. And he was a showman so it was quite spectacular. @robz
I hope it satisfies your challenge. I love travelling and think a lot about what makes it interesting. It isn't just visiting special places in the world, it's also about all the little but exciting and unexpected moments, sometimes just a conversation or a turn of a corner. @farmreporter
And what a wonderful shot to remember it by!
