    I liked the article. Everytime I discoered a unique place I want to tell the world about it and then I realize that could ruin it so I dont.

    Its ironic

      It reminds of one of the later scenes from Secret Life of Walter Mitty when Sean (photographer) decides not to take a picture of the elusive snow leopard in front of them.

      > Walter Mitty: Are you going to take it?

      > Sean O'Connell: Sometimes I don't. If I like a moment, for me, personally, I don't like to have the distraction of the camera. I just want to stay in it.

      > Walter Mitty: Stay in it?

      > Sean O'Connell: Yeah. Right there. Right here.
