First of all, there were no hardships nor suffering involved. But you being a frightened little tender-foot must cringe every time you have to think about walking as far as you do to your kitchen. By not following anyone else's ways I have thousands of other photos from that area that nobody has ever taken, of things they've never seen, nor will ever see. See how that works? LOL!!!!!!!!

How does "not following anyone else's ways" equate to your snapshot having precisely the same perspective as the shot from the roadside? >See how that works?
