Adventure Awaits

I'm not sure how much longer I'll keep this current blog template, but I kind of like the fact that the pictures I post are displayed very large as a placeholder introducing my most recent post (which is something you only see from the perspective of the homepage, not the individual post itself).

So, I'm kind of like focusing on the picture as being an important part of the post, having like value independent from the words written. It's like secret clues to a puzzle for you to follow if you are interested in digging deeper.

Anyway, I'm finding that the best pictures are not currently indexed by Google or any other search engine. They are pictures and diagrams from real physical books that have never been indexed, and more importantly they are the pictures from real life often captured by videos posted on YouTube, or elsewhere, which contain important clips, much like clues not intended to be the primary focus of the video, but are there like gold for anyone with an ultra observant and discerning mind recognizing the wealth of information available to being captured by a simple screenshot.

So, I'm going to do that more often, when I'm watching videos, I'm going to be especially alert to anything strange or noteworthy, especially things that are not planted or set up, but things captured inadvertently in the background, meaning that the person filming maybe never even noticed it, and never grasped the significance of what they were seeing, and never even intended to draw attention to it, but it just happened to be in the background of what they were filming. 

Here's an example: 

 

This is from a guy doing a hike around Yuma, Arizona. As soon as I saw this, I thought this rock formation in the distance looked like some kind of deteriorating megalithic monument from a bygone age, perhaps the geological remnants of an advanced civilization that once existed in North America, but which has had almost all traces of its existence wiped clean from the history books.

Anyway, if you screen capture shots like this, it's helpful to also screenshot the source material, meaning the channel name, timestamp, and description, as it is helpful for anyone wanting to research it further, so that they can refer to the original source material. 

I live in the Southwest, so I'm planning on doing some hikes soon, and will be filming it and attempting to find some spots like this, which I know for a fact exist in abundance. It'll be fun. You'll see.
