i sooooo love that place. i have always vowed to return there, took me 15 years to actually drive north 55 miles. :rolleyes: i shall be back in the spring.....oooooooooo.

there are a few places on the island that i adore like that too...and of course other spots in the world as well...but i love to visit those *hidden gems* close to home. i would love and adore visiting such places even if i wasn't interested in photography....but since i am...just adds another dimension to the experience for me.

that place is just breath-takingly beautiful...

i used to go there all the time b/c it was about 40 mins from my house. now i live in pitt and haven't been there in a year or more. fall was always my favorite time to visit.

thanks for the pics.

i dunno...it seems kinda odd in the middle of nature like that...kinda like putting our dirty fingerprints on a clean window....but that's just me

maybe so...however, if it were not an art centre...i'd hate to think what it might become....housing developments...shopping centres...anyone?! :eek: anyhoo...i am a nature lover and an art lover. also, for the past 4 years, the center has been reintroducing native grasses and wildflowers back into the environment.....so it's all about trying to achieve that precarious balance. differing perspectives of course......but i am in awe of the created beauty......in the midst of such natural beauty....and for me at least, it is truly breath-taking, a sight to behold and admire...and nurture. i cannot wait to return in the spring...


i find it a place of endless inspiration...
