So today I will take a more lighthearted approach. Several years ago there was a reoccurring story on one of the news stations where the reporter would take a dart and throw it at a map of the United States. Then he would travel to the spot and find a story.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/flickr.com\/photos\/willow-monk\/185125675\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/53\/185125675_17e3000bfb_b.jpg\" alt=\"Darts.

Then I can pop onto a random spot and take a look around. I haven&#8217;t developed stories on any of these locations but I am enjoying them simply for their inherent beauty. Some of the locations are stark and empty, while others are busy and urban. Some are classically scenic while others need some time to appreciate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Open the images, take a look around and imagine what it might be like to stand in each of these places. I used to do something similar many years ago when I was a kid with my books of maps. Now I can repeat this photographically.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In future postings I may borrow from that same idea the news station developed to put my research skills to their ultimate test, and try to create stories from random spots. Today, however, let&#8217;s derive simple joy from the images alone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is the most interesting
