What a beauteous slice of earth that is.....Curtis,<br /><br />What a beauteous slice of earth that is... I tried to keep my mind off the political thicket surrounding the construction of that park, a New Deal project which happened to involve the forcible "removal" of a great many mountain folk who would likely have preferred the determination of their own fate. Of course a few of the most stubborn (and elderly) hill folk were quietly allowed to stay on, rent free, until their deaths; which in some cases (stubborn to the end) was quite a while.<br /><br />So that's when Delano was sent out on the drive, just after the official opening of the park.<br /><br />There seems something so securing in these images, spaces out of another time (or perhaps dimension).<br /><br />In noir films cars were always crashing through these railings at night and tumbling down the cliffs. But Kodachrome does wonders for the mood. <br /><br />And is that not a lovely green 1940 Buick convertible Andreas Feininger possessed?TChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05915822857461178942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4445844569294316288.post-13812800143971933742010-10-01T03:52:41.658-07:002010-10-01T03:52:41.658-07:00When I finished looking at and reading this series...When I finished looking at and reading this series, the thought I had was "sanctuary" and then I read the title. That was great. I took the Skyline Drive trip with my family when I was about 17. It was splendid, as are all of these photographs.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
