    This may be one of the most bizarre images I’ve ever produced…It shows “The Grotto” on Seven Hollows Trail at Petit Jean State Park, and it’s an early experiment with HDR processing.It’s so damn ugly that there’s something compelling about it…

    Most people don’t even know about Spring Lake – a few miles north of Danville.I’ve never found the park open, though I guess it is in the summertime.

    This is almost all that’s left of “Forester, Arkansas” – a company town that literally shut-down and vanished.The log pond and the concrete bones of the old sawmill can be seen here.This is a haunting and compelling place that I’ve returned to many times – follow the Forester tag.

It’s a bit off the beaten path… Map below.One of my most popular images, and a personal favorite.
