ITAP of a waterfall and cascade in Forest Park

I don't mean to pick on you, I just want to say to redditors in general: Please, please consider what will happen to the peaceful places you share on the internet before you share them on the internet.

It hurts my heart when I see the lesser-known calm places hyped here. I know we can't turn back the torrent of people once a place is tagged and publicized this way. To me it is a rolling tragedy, watching places get ruined, one here, one there, until we can no longer reliably find any such quiet spaces near us.

Please, photographers, consider not answering people who ask you where you take your admirable photos. Consider leaving some mystery in it, so that maybe curious people will go explore and find unique special places of their own, independently.

Maybe consider deleting any location information?
