Say What?? Travel Photo: The Smell of Foot Prints
Ah nature. It’s just wonderful to relax that quick pace and stop to smell…the footprints?
“Less Foot Prints, More Aroma.” I don’t even know what to say to that. I mean, is that to say that you should walk less and smell worse? Or is it perhaps and indication that your feet smell?

An elaborate entryay gave way to the preserved historical architecture, but before you hit said entryway stood a number of signs similar to the one above. Chinese proverbs perhaps? Who knows?
This sign is open to so many different interpretations. Walk less so you can smell the aromas of town? Walk less so you don’t smell bad…err, smell better? Walk less because your shoes smell?
