This photo was taken a few years ago, at a place only about fifteen miles from my home. It has been one of my more popular photos, appearing on tote bags, notepads, and prints, and garnering many comments. But yesterday, I drove to the site, and saw that it's gone. Obviously, the place itself is still there, but the scene is unrecognizable. The trees have been damaged by wind and time, fallen over, broken, and anyone who saw it today would not be able to tell it was the spot where this photograph was made.
