Tourists

Sometimes, tourists points are more about tourists than the place.

Here, amidst the spectacular of Prismatic hot springs at Yellowstone National Park, human presence provides its own spectacular. Each admiring the beauty in his/her own way. Also, each adding what I call "noise" to the "signal".

My take on nature and us - the tourist - is more of the Schrodinger's cat paradox. We have to be there to admire the beauty and charm of the place. But as soon as we are there (especially in throngs), we take the 'natural' element away.

Now only if I can find a way to make myself invisible. Until then, I too am just a noise.
