P-Doug took this shot of the foundation of whatever it was that once stood north of the pond. Someone has spray painted "RESPECT NATURE" on the pouring.

IR Looking south up Old Bayview Avenue by Lone Primate

Obviously when this was a going concern, the apartment buildings weren't there yet. Bayview connected with Lawrence again at the top of the hill.

IR Entrance to the grounds... by Lone Primate

I think this is a beautiful, nearly idyllic shot, though I say it myself. It seems almost like something from a dream, doesn't it? An open gate, a sunlit field, and a well-tree clay-bottomed road inviting you in. To me, this is archetypal rural North America, something fast disappearing.

IR Lost driveway by Lone Primate

This was the driveway to someone's home before the fireworks went off at the start of the century. Maybe even afterwards. But now, the home is gone, and nature is laying the driveway to rest after decades of service. Turning it back into what it once was.
