I miss doing this with my grandfather, although I am equally troubled by the fact that we will soon be missing more of those pristine areas being destroyed for urbanization.Kartenlegenhttp://www.tarotkarten24.de/Deine_tarotkartenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7449503.post-88372565557851934372009-11-29T21:44:54.793-05:002009-11-29T21:44:54.793-05:00..."Your brush style is nooo match for my cra......"Your brush style is nooo match for my crane style!" (Okay, <i>he</i> probably wouldn't have said that. <i>I</i> would have said that.)<br /><br />I remember in the early 90's working in a six-story office building on (what was then) the north edge of town. Ten or fifteen years earlier, you would have found nothing but trees and two lanes of asphalt that far north. Now, 20 years hence, that building has been joined by 4 more plus an additional parking deck on that campus, and a similarly sized complex on the opposite side of the road. the shopping center just north of my old office has been dwarfed by its cousin on the opposite side of the cross street and the road is now five lanes rather than two -- in both directions.<br /><br />But just south of there, stands a trim little white wood frame house on perhaps 3 or 4 acres of fallow field. No doubt at one time this was a farm, and the original owners -- or their heirs -- still occupy the farmhouse. I keep waiting for the day when greed wins out and the little white house is gone too, but last time I was up there, it was still standing, almost defiant.<br /><br />I can't believe I've never photographed that place. I need to remedy that while I still can.Mojohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03498213932233245032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7449503.post-79317250721710775942009-11-29T19:39:48.118-05:002009-11-29T19:39:48.118-05:00My step-father and I disagree on a lot of topics (...My step-father and I disagree on a lot of topics (religion, politics) but we do love a lively debate. On this subject, I think we'd both agree that we love less development.<br /><br />What a great memory that you shared.Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06999741671175495307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7449503.post-65258623742409929862009-11-29T17:17:46.463-05:002009-11-29T17:17:46.463-05:00My father and I have similar conversation, althoug...My father and I have similar conversation, although they can become very heated. If my wife, children, or mother are around they all say, "No Politics!!". Thank you for reminding me that we can have civil talks with various opinions.Gallowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01411525692992307611noreply@blogger.com
