Friends,
One of the most entertaining parts of the trip was a lesson in the wisdom of the crowds. Once in the park, people feel free to stop their vehicles whenever (and I mean whenever) they see something neat to photograph. The passengers pile out, cameras in hand, and take happy snaps. Then then next car comes and also stops, presuming that the driver of the first car must be on to something. Once the third car arrives, the sighting becomes an event. Now everybody stops to see what all the fuss is about. All of the passengers of the all of the cars begin to mingle “Did you see that? That was amazing!” fills the air.
It’s like a tiny festival on the side of the road that I believe should be recreated more often. I propose that you keep a camera in the car and stop to take a picture whenever you see something interesting. Maybe you’ll attract a crowd…
Couldn’t hurt.
