On September 21, Rebecca and I traveled to West Virginia to visit Coopers Rock State Forest. Sometimes, a landscape architect needs to head to the forested mountains to find a sense of clarity and inspiration. Sometimes, this can only be done on a barren rock face 2, 159 ft. above sea level...
Rebecca was intrigued by the historic pavilion constructed by the Civilian Conservation Corps. Built between 1936-1942, the structure (as well as several others on site) is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Rebecca captured not only the structure, but the essence of its surroundings. 
My interest was directed to the contrast of the forest that surrounded me: the strong form and rough texture accented by the smooth, twisted forms, both of which arise from the soft moss covered plane....
The forest floor offers great contrast itself...so many intricacies among a fragile balance of life and death.
West-by-God-Virginia, one of the greatest places on Earth! These images are from a short hike we took along the Virgin Hemlock Trail. I have no words for how beautiful and awe-inspiring this place is...
