Do you take photos of the scenery outside the car window?

Yes, I especially like taking photos at sunset because the low light makes the sea or river sparkle and the sky looks dramatic with the orange tones, so those moments always catch my eye. I also enjoy photographing lush greenery and colorful flowers when I spot them from the car, and I sometimes edit these pictures later to post on my social media.

In the mountains, the scenery can sometimes become monotonous, mostly green or brown, whereas at the seaside you can photograph waves, reflections, boats and dramatic skies, which gives you more creative options.
