A nice photo amongst a discussion on of an untimely death.

That is why you should obey "Stay On Trail" or "Keep On Path" signs. They were posted for a reason.

I wonder if his camera survive and which is it?
Did he have a filter on the lens and did it protect the lens element?
Not to make light of a person's death, but I just couldn't help myself.
To those criticizing the guy for getting into a dangerous situation, stop and think: Do you know what the terrain was in this particular spot that might have given him a false sense of security? Not all dangers are apparent. For all any of us know he may have been a city kid who had no idea what unstable ground looks like or that it could fall out from under him.

Unfortunately, that's not an uncommon event.

I'm surprised that no one (that I know of) has ever walked off the edge of the sheer drop at the old Mountain House overlook at North Lake in the Catskills.

In the news a couple of days ago, a woman fell off a cliff in that area, but she was rescued. People put too much trust in Nature. People have to learn that Nature is out to get us because of how we have treated him/her. Just consider gravity. What a nasty force! There should be signs all over the woods - "Beware of Nature!" 🤣

There is a line spoken by Dwayne Johnson near the beginning of the Disney movie "Jungle Cruise". (Fun movie, BTW) A warning to his cruise passengers: "Everything you see out there wants to kill you, and can". Or words to that effect anyway.

I was always taught that if I am moving to take a photograph to look at my feet not the viewfinder. A plus for zoom lenses. I don't have to move around as much to get closer.
