My photographs are part of my way of thinking about and imagining spaces and light, of pondering and approaching an idea. In this case, the photographs generate a way of looking at a structure that exists only in order to provoke a sensorial and intellectual experience.

Located along the Susquehanna River valley with its heavy forest cover and rocky terrain, Susquehanna State Park offers a wide variety of outdoor recreational opportunities. The park is home to some of the most popular mountain biking trails in Maryland and the river itself beckons fishermen and boaters alike. Susquehanna State Park also contains a family-friendly campground with traditional campsites and cabins. History buffs will be drawn to the restored Rock Run Historic Area with its working gristmill, Carter-Archer Mansion, Jersey Toll House and the remains of the Susquehanna & Tidewater Canal.
The river offers excellent fishing opportunities, including pike, perch, and bass.
The Mobile Botanical Gardens were founded in 1974, and are located on Museum Drive in the Spring Hill community in Mobile, Alabama, United States.
The gardens are situated on 100 acres (0.40 km2) and are a blend of cultivated areas and natural habitats, including the Rhododendron Garden, Camellia Wintergarden, Fern Glade, Fragrance and Texture Garden, Japanese Maple Garden, Herb garden, and a Longleaf Pine habitat of 40 acres (160,000 m2).
The Rhododendron Garden contains eight collections of approximately 1,000 evergreen and native azaleas. The plantings were newly installed in 2006 within an older azalea garden. The collections here include Encore, Harris, Holly Springs, Mobile, National Arboretum Kurumes, Nuccio, Robin Hill, and Southern Indica. This is the most comprehensive rhododendron collection anywhere along the Gulf Coast. Another area of special note is the Longleaf Pine Habitat, a preserved remnant of the great southern longleaf pine (Pinus palustris) ecosystem that once dominated the American South. It is an extremely diversified habitat with 49 vascular plant families, 159 vascular plant species, 72 woody species, and 21 naturalized species cataloged in May and June 2007. Installed in 2007, the Camellia Wintergarden is a collection of 500 camellias, 350 newly planted, with 75 planted over thirty years ago.
Mobile Botanical Gardens is a 501(c)3 non-profit, and funding is mainly through contributions, grants, plant sales, and membership dues. It is open year-round from dawn to dusk. Admission is $5 for adults, children 12 and under are free (Wikipedia).

Palimpsest • \PAL-imp-sest\ • noun = Multiple Layers.
The Architectural History revealed when a building is destroyed, removed or altered,
exposing all of the painted surfaces, wall textures, bricked in windows & doorways.
Humans are builders.
And-
"REAL ESTATE" is a finite reality (Commodity).
Quite often what one man builds - another man tears down
....and often in the process reveals something unique
about the past occupants.
What was there........?
Architects imply Palimpsest as a ghost—an image of what once was.
In the built environment, this occurs somewhat often.
Whenever spaces are shuffled, rebuilt, or remodeled, shadows remain.
Tarred rooflines remain on the sides of a building long after the neighboring structure
has been demolished;
Demolished Stairs, leave an imprint of where the painted wall surface stopped.
Dust lines recall a relocated appliance.
Ancient ruins speak volumes of their former wholeness.
Palimpsests can inform us, archaeologically, of the realities of the built past.
Few hours of PS work - scale and recursion of simple square pattern finalized with warping and some shading - march 2003

A Wonderful palimpsest found in Kilburn, London.
The older layer is an advert telling us to “Buy a Gillette safety razor”. The newer layer is advertising “Criterion Matches. Great gift scheme. Save the packet labels”. Criterion (imported from Russia) ran different competitions during the 1930s but it appears that in 1937, customers were given 3 months to collect as many labels as possible in order to win a number of cash prizes. The brand left the UK in the 1950s.
The idea of palimpsest- the layering and gradual accretion of material over time - has always intrigued me as a perusal of many of my photos here will show. This image takes that idea further using several scanned pages from my notebooks overlain on each other and then added to an existing photograph, which has itself had faux aged edges added to it.
