Heinrich Böll walked alongside these fields somewhere in the last year of WW II, after having said a last goodbye to his wife and rejoined with his troop.
In Port Gibson, Mississippi. The theater was unused and in poor condition and then it burned for five hours in 2020.
HIERAPOLIS [excerpted from Wikipedia article]
There are only a few historical facts known about the origin of the city. No traces of the presence of Hittites or Persians have yet been found. However it was customary to build a temple on the site of such a natural phenomenon. The Phrygians built a temple dedicated to Hieron probably in the first half of the third century BC. This temple would later form the centre of Hierapolis. It was already used by the citizens of the nearby town Laodiceia, a city built by Antiochus II Theos in 261-253 BC.
Hierapolis was founded as a thermal spa early in the second century BC and given by the Romans to Eumenes II, king of Pergamon in 190 BC. The city was named after the name of the existing temple, or possibly to honour Hiera, wife of Telephos — son of Heracles by a Mysian princess Auge - the mythical founder of the Attalid dynasty. The city was expanded with proceeds from the booty from the Battle of Magnesia in 190 BC, where Antiochus the Great was defeated by Eumenes II who had sided with the Romans. Thus Hierapolis became part of the Pergamon kingdom.
Hierapolis became a healing centre where doctors used the hot thermal springs as a treatment for their patients. The city began issuing bronze coins in the second century BC. These coins give the name Hieropolis (town of the temple Hieron). This name eventually changed into Hierapolis (Holy city). [1]
In 133 BC, when Attalus III the last Attalid king of Pergamon died, he bequeathed his kingdom to Rome. Hierapolis thus became part of the Roman province of Asia. The Hellenistic city was slowly transformed into a Roman town.
In the year 17 A.D., during the rule of emperor Tiberius, an earthquake destroyed the city. In 60 AD, during the rule of emperor Nero, an even more severe earthquake left the city completely in ruins. Afterwards the city was rebuilt in Roman style with the financial support from the emperor. It was during this period that the city attained its present form. The theatre was built in 129 AD when emperor Hadrian visited the town. It was renovated under Septimus Severus (193-211). When emperor Caracalla visited the town in 215 he bestowed on the city the much coveted title of Neocoros, according the city certain privileges and the right of sanctuary.
This was the "golden age" of Hierapolis. Thousands of people came to town to benefit from the medicinal properties of the hot springs. New building projects were started : two Roman baths, a gymnasium, several temples, a main street with a colonnade and a fountain at the hot spring. Hierapolis became one of the most prominent cities in the field of the arts, philosophy and trade in the Roman empire. The town grew to 100,000 inhabitants and became wealthy. According to the geographer Stephanus of Byzantium, the city was given its name because of the large number of temples it contained (again a sign of wealth).
.....
In the early 7th century, the town was devastated by Persian armies and again by a destructive earthquake. Afterwards came a slow recovery.
In the 12th century, the area came under the control of the Seljuk sultanate of Konya.
In the year 1190 crusaders under Frederick Barbarossa fought with the Byzantines and conquered the town of Philip the Apostle.
About thirty years later, the town was abandoned and the Seljuks built a castle in the 1220s.
The city was abandoned in the late 1300s.
These are traces from Peter Kogler's rats. It's the result of a long exposure. You can see them in Elk Collector's video clip and in this picture from Heidi.

A lonely beach on the West coast of Vancouver island shows the traces of our passing, but they will not last. The approaching weather will wash them away, and it always will.
A beautiful old oak tree, which looks its best at this time of year in such a tight frame. The photo was taken as if from hiding, through dense, tangled branches in the foreground that create a natural frame, guiding the eye towards the tree, which clearly captivates with its strength and majesty. Though old and marked by time, the tree still stands proudly, its bark’s texture resembling a complex mosaic woven by nature itself. I decided to name this photo "Traces of Time." I hope you like it too! :)

Valle de Neiba formado por los aluviones del rÃo Yaque del Sur y llamado asà por los indÃgenas está localizado en la Hoya del Lago Enriquillo. Neiba es la capital de la Provincia de Bahoruco con una superficie de 1,282.23 kilómetros Km.² Sobre su fundación existen dos posibles fechas 1546 y 1735.
Neiba, se encuentra situada en la región sur de la República Dominicana próximo a la Sierra de Bahoruco la cual se prolonga hasta territorio haitiano con el nombre Masif de la Selle.
Antes de la conquista de La Española, Neiba era el Cacicazgo de Jaragua, Neiba es conocida en la historia de nuestro paÃs como un caudal de patriotismo y valentÃa, asà lo demuestra su participación en la Independencia de la República.
Neiba fue escenario también de las luchas restauradoras, donde se inició la primera jornada bélica con el asalto a la comandancia de Neiba, acción dirigida por Cayetano Velásquez.
Una Ley del Congreso Nacional del año 1942 elevó a Neiba a la categorÃa de cabecera de la Provincia de Bahoruco, siendo inaugurada el 18 de marzo de 1943.

I love to feature the work of other photographers, especially those who are not so well known to the wider public. Tasmania has truly been blessed with an abundance of fine nature photographers. This is not surprising given the beauty in our landscape.
Chris Bell has been photographing wild places for over 30 years. In 1972 he came to Tasmania from NSW for the Save Lake Pedder campaign. Sadly it failed, but this movement inspired a new political movement and the formation of the world's first Greens political party. In 1983 they successfully stopped the damming of the Gordon River and saved a priceless wilderness. Chris lives in Hobart and describes his phenomenal work this way:
"I want to present beauty as a worth in itself, and for that beauty to act as a conduit to a new affirmation with the natural world, which we so desperately need to establish."
At the QVMAG in Launceston the work of Chris Bell is being featured in an exhibition entitled TRACES. I love the title, because that word gently touches on the intimations of deeper meaning, beauty and love within the natural order itself. For some people this means God or Spirit, but such traces of meaning come only to those who will silence their hearts and listen for the still small trace of an emerging voice.
The Trace Too is the most amazing coastal place.
