There is a certain "richness" of experience to have known -- when and if life has ever taken one to be at all a part of, have interaction with, or spend any time in -- places like these. But ONLY, I think, if that time is finite and you are able to extricate yourself out FROM that world again.
Probably, only one who did NOT experience the worst could say this.
Actually some of those pictures elicit in me a twisted glamorizing of prior experience.
