Eric Sod...

Söder, Stockholm, Sweden

Where I come from, you don't get SOD in a bottle. It comes on a flat-bed truck and gets installed by an army of sweaty, hard-working landscapers. If only I had known of this simpler method of application!

Rocky Ridge Trail, Dolly Sods, West Virginia (Jan 27, 2019)

Perched high atop the Alleghany Front, Dolly Sods is a mystery of nature. Upon reaching the top of the mountain, one leaves the deciduous forest and comes onto a desolate area, studded with pine trees whose growth is stunted, resulting in their lopsided appearance. Amidst the acres of huckleberry patches are large lakes of rocks, strewn about and stacked atop each other. Dolly Sods is an area that continues to baffle scientists who strive to explain this enigmatic landscape.
