Indeed, with COVID-19 restrictions in place in almost every country or territory in the world, international and even some domestic travel at this stage involves some form of quarantine or isolation.

बर्गेन का टूरिस्ट ऑफिस यह दावा करता है कि बर्गेन्सबेनेन “दुनिया की सबसे खूबसूरत ट्रेन यात्राओं में से एक है”। लेकिन आप कह सकते हैं कि वे अपनी चीज की तो तारीफ़ करेंगे ही। घुमक्कड़ों का पुराण माने जाने वाली लोनली प्लेनेट पत्रिका भी यह सवाल करती है कि क्या यह “यूरोप की सर्वश्रेष्ठ ट्रेन यात्रा” है? वहीं गार्डियन ने यह ऐलान किया कि यह “दुनिया की सबसे बढ़िया लंबी दूरी की ट्रेन यात्राओं में से एक” है। इतनी तारीफ़ के बाद यह लग गया था कि इस सफर का अनुभव लिए बगैर रहना मुश्किल है। लिहाजा हम निकल पड़े सुदूर उत्तरी यूरोपीय देश नॉर्वे में ओस्लो से बर्गेन की यात्रा पर। ओस्लो में अलस्सुबह हमने हमेशा की तरह सवेरे जल्दी ट्रेन पकड़ने का फैसला किया ताकि दिन की रोशनी में सफर का नजारा लिया जा सके और बर्गेन भी समय से पहुंचा जा सके। इसका मतलब यह था कि हमें होटल से सवेरे साढ़े छह बजे तक निकल जाना था। अच्छा...

अब हर घुमक्कड़ अपने साथ एक मोबाइल लेकर चलता है जिनमें कई बहुत बढिया कैमरों से लैस होते हैं। जाहिर है, फोटो लेना कभी इतना आसान नहीं रहा। दरअसल फोटो लेना और उन्हें शेयर करना, दोनों ही खासे पसंदीदा शगल में से एक हैं। लेकिन मजेदार बात यह है कि जैसे-जैसे फोटो साझा करने के विकल्प बढ़ते जा रहे हैं, अपने फोटो को औरों से अलग, कुछ हटके दिखाने की होड़ भी उतना ही तेज होती जा रही है। आप इंस्टाग्राम जैसे प्लेटफॉर्म पर जाएं तो नजर आ जाएगा कि फोटोग्राफी की यह दौड़ अब किस दिशा में जा रही है। ऐसे में बहुत जरूरी है कि आप कलात्मक फोटो लेने के लिए और खुद को मुकाबले में आगे रखने के लिए स्मार्टफोन से आगे जाकर सोचें। वैसे भी जब आप किसी खास यात्रा के लिए जाते हैं तो लौटने के बाद हमेशा सोचते हैं न कि मेरे पास फलां कैमरा होता तो मेरे फोटो बड़े शानदार आते! तो लौटने के बाद किसी अफसोस से बचने के लिए क्यों न पहले थोड़ा...
