Wonderful how excited and engaged you and many others on this list are with human history, recording it, fascinated and drawn to the human element. I feel the same way about nature. Rocks as old as the earth itself under the same sun as we are. Plants that grow from the breaking down of these ancient rocks. The beauty of it all and the harmony. I'm fascinated with every aspect of this side of nature just as you are with human nature. No losses here; I gain appreciation from your fascination and life spent recording it so beautifully. I try to do the same with ferns and rocks and rotting wood... A wonder how it's different attractions for everyone. I think we all try to portray that in everything we photograph. Thanks for prompting these thoughts; gives me a bit more insight. Best, Bob Bob Adler Palo Alto, CA http://www.rgaphoto.com Dr. Grant wrote: Hi Sonny, That is so neat! I realize some folks will think it's nothing, their loss! But touches of history and stories that go with it like this, I get a real charge out of and want to learn more. There are so many small things in the lives of people in mankind's past that are simple, yet create questions... "Why was this started and who were the families involved? And what was their role in the community and whatever else they might have been involved in day to day and year after year? Well done in preserving this for others to enjoy during a quiet moment of peace and quite. So who were these folks? cheers, ted _______________________________________________ Leica Users Group.
