When packing your gadgets, do you include a small pair of travel binoculars? They don’t take up much room and aren’t heavy.
They’re great for looking at things far away or outdoors. Now, think about using them indoors as well.
When we were in a museum in Italy, looking at the painting of the last supper, we were not allowed to stand real close. Understandably. Yes, it was close enough to see the whole painting. But, some of the details might have escaped us without the binoculars.
Ceilings in churches often have paintings, frescoes, or mosaic tile works…especially in Italy. Using the binoculars gives you a different perspective or the work involved on the ceiling.
