分享秘境照片會有危險？隨時破壞現場環境沒法再影

文：Nic

攝影師到一些鮮為人知的地方拍攝「靚景」照片，往往不願透露實際地點，因為怕這些秘境被公開後，會引來其他人一窩蜂湧來「打卡」朝聖，結果導致該處以後不能再拍攝，甚或令現場環境受破壞。然而香港有部分媒體喜歡將拍攝秘境公開，結果惹來不少人批評。

YouTube 頻道 vlogbrothers 早前便製作短片，講述在網絡公開秘境照片所面對的下場，指出分享十分「危險」，反思這行為是否值得去做。

短片是關於瑞典攝影師 Patrik Svedberg 的「西蘭花」樹的故事。他於 2013 年 5 月偶然發現一棵樹，形狀像是西蘭花，於是把它拍下並將照片發佈到個人 Instagram 帳戶，即日收到不少好評。

然後接下來幾日、幾個月及幾年， Patrik 不斷在樹旁經過，在不同季節、時間、日照及天氣情況下，拍攝這棵樹。之後他為這棵樹開設一個專門 Instagram 帳戶 @thebroccolitree ，紀錄它的每一張照片。

December 28, 2014. Tree nr100 in #thebroccolitree timeline! ? **************************************************************** - This one had to be special, but as always I have no clue HOW it's going to be special. These guys really gave me a show ? • A hundred unique trees wraps up this year pretty good I think, and I with this one I wish you a Happy New Year and see you all in 2015. Strangely enough I believe there is a lot more to capture at @thebroccolitree and you will have the chance to see the tree in other forms than @Instagram - maybe fabulous fine art prints. You'll see :) Big THANKS to you all for your kind support! ??????

不久之後， Patrik 開設的新帳戶已經積累數以萬計的追隨者，而樹亦變得愈來愈出名， Google Maps 列出其位置，更有人專程來到參觀它。

但是到 2017 年 9 月，發生一件不可思議的事情，當 Patrik 參觀這棵樹時，發現有人鋸了樹的主幹。

 

Ever since the tree got viral a couple of years ago the number one joke has been ”what if someone cuts it down..?” Or ”What´s next, maybe you should cut it down and take photos haha.” I´ve never had good answer to that question, or joke. It´s not like we´re planted together, we live different lives the tree and I. This question was so common so I guess it was just a matter of time before some guys mentally retarded enough would crawl up from under a stone and make it happen as a part of a bet or something. Clearly it´s a obsession in lots of minds out there for some inscrutable reason. One of the trees branches has now (a couple of days ago..?) been sawn in almost all the way through and it´s just a matter of time before it´ll fall off. I won´t be around to document it, others will for sure so I guess you lunatics who did it can enjoy every moment. You can win a bet. Get cheered at. Even get a bit infamous. Congrats. What an accomplishment. I guess you were excited like little children while you did it, must have taken quite a while. For sure you are excited now, aspecially when the word is out. Now is your moment. High fives, maybe some back slapping. Suck it in. Time will erode those memories, excitement will turn into second thoughts. But the saddest thing of all, however You absolutely cannot un-saw a tree. ----- I leave the judgement to others and have to move on to work, you can talk to each other about this below of course, but I feel for now this is what I have to say in this matter. Cheer up, there will be a tomorrow after this. // Patrik

過去這棵樹成為網絡熱話後，曾有人向 Patrik 開玩笑地說「如果有人把它砍下來……」，他沒想到這件事會發生。而幾日後，樹被完全鋸掉並移走。

 

“You absolutely cannot un-saw a tree...to share something is to risk losing it.” #thebroccolitree

Seth Radley 在 vlogbrothers 的短片中表示，分享一些東西就有可能失去它，特別是在著重分享資訊的網絡世界；每個人似乎都希望被人關注，即使只是為了一棵心愛的樹木被砍伐。

如果不去分享所愛的東西，仍然可能會失去它，然而失去時只會是一個人去面對。而因為喜歡一個地方而去分享，最終卻遭到摧毀，是一件非常傷心的事情。
