better left unsaid

I just love these old his­toric sites. I imag­ine myself 400 years ago in these places, what life was like. Imag­in­ing the work­ers who had to build these huge walls and for­ti­fi­ca­tions, build­ing some­thing that has lasted over four cen­turies to edu­cate us, we who can’t seem to tear our­selves away from cell phones and the inter­net. I won­der what we have built that will sur­vive that long. It sure isn’t Facebook.

Once again, the amaz­ing tree branches and the lichen on the rock did it for me. I pur­pose­fully included the pic­nic table — some­thing I’d nor­mally try to hide when com­pos­ing — because I thought it added some­thing a lit­tle mod­ern to a shot full of old things.
