The Best Place in the World: The Middle of Nowhere

Middle of nowhere, Hawaii

Everyone seems to have their opinion on where they think the most beautiful/ best place on earth is. So as a means to avoid doing Economics at all possible costs. Heres my two cents. Currently residing in the part of Canada is the " best place on earth" according to the lisence plate. Personally I would love to see the statistics which allowed this conclusion to be drawn because it's a bit of a obnoxious statement. Don't get me wrong, British Columbia is a lovely place, with lovely people and gorgeous surroundings, but it buy no means shits gold metaphorically and literally speaking . There are quite a few places that shit gold in the most literal sense of the term(countries that have high gold reserves) and Canada is not one of them, and according to the IMF the USA and India and Germany are currently shitting the most gold..... Anyways thats beside the point. 

Now approaching my 21st year of being a self proclaimed child of the world, and my interest in photography continuing to flourish, plus my travel hunger and sunshine craving I have been looking over photos from my travels lately and have now decided to be as obnoxious as the British Columbian Provencial goverment and say that British Columbia is not the best and most beautiful place on earth. In fact the best and most beautiful place on earth in the middle of nowhere so suck it Christy Clarke!

The middle of nowhere is not a specific location. It's sort of a grey area, I suppose the best way I can describe the middle of nowhere is its in the boundaries of a geographical feature (country, ocean), but if someone was to ask you to point it out on a map you probably wouldn't have a clue where to point to. The middle of nowhere has a bunch of hidden treasures, and has a somewhat untouched element to it. The middle of nowhere is not in any guide books, and anyone who has an encounter with it at some point in their life,  has a special connection to it. 

To cement my argument even more and to slightly annoy people who think BC shits gold ( im feeling cheekier than usual today) I will attack some pictures of my encounters with the middle of nowhere.
