a) you are the first one to scout a location
b) you take your photos and post them on a forum like this
c) you reveal the location after people ask you
d) as a result, more people visit the same location to get their picture
e) these people also talk about the place
f) over time the number of visitors grows exponentially (worst case, of course)
g) the place is finally ruined for everyone
And you guys want to tell me that you don\'t have any impact? Your feet might not harm the place, but your actions after your visit certainly do. I could give you tons of examples where pristine locations were destroyed the way I just described.
