Immortalized
I'm curious what the motivation is when someone carves their name onto a scenic landmark. Recently I've seen a sandstone wall at the coast and some trees with etchings and it got me wondering. It's possible that it's a way to say "I was here!" that feels more substantive than a selfie, but the carvings often left are just generic initials. Maybe one day I'll run into a full social security number carved into a mountain side.
Hope you're having a good week!
