They wouldn't have to interact. It's not like anyone is asking for them to pose and move apparatus. I'm not one of the perfectionists. I shoot them where they are if I come across stuff out.

We've arrived at our destination and it is more beautiful than the photos!
2nd floor balcony overlooks a noisy rocky river!
Ducks and squirrels are within view.

Relaxing, peaceful and no NNs anywhere!
