Open the door to your house, it's all around you..you just aren't used to seeing it.
Yes you can travel hundreds of miles to beauty spots, chances are when you get there the weather and light conditions will be crap. Start local, you will soon start to see everything more clearly even in built up areas.If you are like most people you will probably get in your car and go to work and back? When you get a minute just go for a drive (presuming you can drive ), go off the beaten track, is there a road you pass wondering what is down there? Go down it and see. If there is nothing there then at least that's an area crossed off.
Don't forget your camera and have fun.
