I feel the same way …especially when I see New York images I think of how it was when it was pristine and left unmolested I love how Native Americans lived in harmony with their surroundings
Doug McPherson replied:
It is easy for me to image a pristine world devoid of pollution, logging and raping of resources where everything is in it's natural order. it's a shame humans are so greedy and view everything as a resource rather than respecting it.

My grandmother was 5 when she was taken to hide in these mts to avoid the Trail Of Tears march to Oklahoma,,, I often think of the shelter these beautiful mts gave them with gratitude ,This and your other photos are wonderful
Doug McPherson replied:
I have been blessed to call the Appalachians home and blessed to have lived here in the Smokies the past 25 years. I often hike these hills and being a bit of a history buff, I can’t help but imagine the shelter these mountains gave but more, what they looked like prior to the first timber hungry immigrants.
