It seems that there is quite a bit, sort of. First up is a playground buried in the forest. These trees are probably 80-100 years old as that is when they stopped lumbar operations in Atlanta. The trees are so small because bedrock is about half a meter below the soil. http://gallery.leica-users.org/album280/playgroundII I liked the rock in the middle of the creek reflecting the forest surrounding and enclosing. http://gallery.leica-users.org/album280/rockI Last up for this week is a creek wandering through this urban wilderness. While the water has been slowly wearing away the bones of the earth history has passed by with little effect on what is here. You would never know that an entire civilization of Cherokee passed by, more than 7000 men died in the immediate vicinty as recently as 1864, or that 150 yard uphill a neighborhood of cottages and bungalows is being gentrified into McMansions. http://gallery.leica-users.org/album280/waterfallwide Many thanks to Graham for getting me into a different surrounding than normal. Enjoy, comment, shoot more pictures. Don don.dory@gmail.com
