Thanks for posting the photos.
Over the years, I've tried to avoid the tourist type thing of carrying a camera, taking a quick photo, and then moving on. Cameras are good for keeping memories, but not a substitute for actually looking closely at what is in front of our nose, and thinking about what it is, represents, etc. The widespread use of mobile phones, even though they have cameras built in these days, is a modernism I try to not carry on me when I'm involved in anything that puts me in period clothing. If I do, it gets turned off and placed in something that I don't open for the duration. That can get me in trouble with the other-half at times, but so be it...
I live close enough to many historical places in the eastern US that at times, carrying a camera and taking photos is not a problem. I may have to work at breaking my old habit of not relying on a camera to keep visual images instead of relying on my ability to remember visual and other details. I'll look through the photos I have, and will try posting them here. Also, I'll keep the idea in mind of taking new ones!

I make every effort to keep the phone/camera out of sight, but having a permanent record of things I see is important to me. I also have pictures of their museum containing a mixture of originals & reproductions and having a visual record of extant artifacts is valuable, especially if one will be reproducing something. Yes - observation is important, but sometimes the details can be forgotten and the images serve to refresh/remind.
