Time's recording. DSCN2974, with story, a series

Description

Hundreds, possible thousands of years in the making, exposed with erosion and road construction. 

Each layer a capsule of each year, following more years until a trained observer could read the climate of this region.  So many travel this roadway daily, with no regard for the long view of history. Humans may be curious, but their perception of time is fatally brief, especially in the face of obvious facts like these.  The more I view this, the more I love it.  It will be interesting to see if this holds up in a large print size.

I had driven my son to the State Park, where he worked.  I had loaded my bicycle in the pick up truck's bed, which I rode back, leaving the truck for him to drive home.  As I rode up and down the steep hills, I noticed the erosion on the road's edge, and stopped to document, with my back pocket camera.

Today a man with a fine camera came into the gallery.  Looking through my works and the variety.  He asked...

     "Where do you find all these pictures?"

I showed him what I had found and revealed within just the last week and he asked how could you find so many?  I told him it started with carrying a camera with you, and then stopping to use it.

Now he understands.
