The release of the Vimeo profile video about me ( https://vimeo.com/126545288 ) has prompted requests to show some of the photography of the actual lost orchard. Here is my posting and an image I took in the fog, of one of the wonderful old trees in that beautiful orchard. I have now made a gallery of it, which you see below.
Lost Orchard
This was a very special old orchard not far from me, situated next to an old graveyard. It looked particularly interesting in the fog with bare branches gnarled and twisted reaching into the misty air, looking like hands.
It was cut down shortly after I took these photographs. The field is now fallow.








Oh! Thank you so much! When you described the devastation, I too was crushed. Thank you for sharing this, very dear images.
I loved seeing this again. We must take a look at the others you never posted and get them online +Steven Kennard
thanks you so much +Steven Kennard for posting this. It is such a gorgeous photograph and wonderful memorial of a special place. The gallery is a fabulous testament to the beauty of a very special part of our country.
You are very welcome +cobalt please.I don't know why I didn't think to post it with the box before. 🙂
Thank you +Byron Sheldrick!
You are very right about being a special part of this country, there are many beautiful places to be appreciated.
Lovely picture Steve
They really look so beautiful shaped, it's such a pity they are gone!
A great photo of such a special place. Old orchards like this are an historical part of the landscape – to remove them is awful and to leave the land fallow just adds insult to injury!
I agree with you +Karen Cooper.
There is no evidence that an orchard once existed there, it has been replaced with yet more gmo corn, the last thing the world needs!
