I'm one of those numerous dorks who wants to go to London and check off

I also want to ride a double decker but that's not part of this thought.
I struggle being content with our very modest life (and not modest at all compared to the daily misfortune of others). I don't care about luxury or gadgets as much as I wish for the opportunity to travel. I don't dream of some fluffy vacation, but simply the opportunity to behold more of God's creation.
I'm of the belief that you can't truly appreciate another place unless you've actually spent some time learning the cultural customs and social norms of that foreign place. So going to London simply to get a shot of Big Ben and ride a double decker are not exactly cultural experiences, however they are icons of that culture's history and something to appreciate. As a visual person I mentally store these "icons" and desire to one day see them first-hand outside of someone else's lens or interpretation.
Since I'm not booking any flights to London in the near future I will adapt my own imaginative interpretation of some of these icons...I could call it : "A Study of Cultural Icons". I haven't settled on a medium yet, but paint seems inevitable.
So I have established my intent to create (ITC) here and hope to show my results in the near future.....
