I have given some thought lately about human behavior and wonder what it is that compels the building of monuments. Often they are an amazing amalgam of art, architecture and engineering, but I keep wondering why they were built in the first place. Whatever the impetus, I'm glad they're there.

Industrial Art is something I find to be raw and powerful, well suited to grungy textures and lurid lighting. It surprised me that I even had a yen to dabble in this genre, but it showed up one day, so I chased it down.
And, while all these images were captured in and around Burlington, NC, I was inspired by Carl Sandburg's poem Chicago:
"And having answered so I turn once more to those who sneer at this my city, and I give them back the sneer and say to them:
Come and show me another city with lifted head singing so proud to be alive and coarse and strong and cunning."

Nonflowering - but still enchanting.

Of the things I like most about my adopted state of NC, certainly included are the trees - it has a wealth of them.. It is a green state with plenty of shade.. And the trees lend themselves to so many artistic interpretations.

Bob,
These are great! They don't look "overcooked." I may have missed it, but what software do you use?

I love the look of old houses, but enjoy rendering them as sketches.

Who can forget "Dueling Banjoes" and a young Burt Reynolds with a drawn bow?

This is a series that might have been called "Fall Color and Waterfalls in NC" - except for the backstory ........
These were all taken in the Ellicott Rock Wilderness in the extreme southwestern corner of NC. Ellicott Rock, itself, marks the point at which 3 states, NC, SC and GA meet in a single point, and the wilderness area extends into all 3 states.. It can be reached via the Ellicott Rock Trail (sidenote: ....... as a northern boy from Michigan, I had no idea until a few years sgo that GA even had a northern border with NC).
Ellicott Rock is only a short distance from the Chattooga River, the headwaters of which are pictured here. Once it passes south out of NC, this river marks the boundary line between SC and GA for 40 miles. What most folks don't know is that the Chattooga River (in GA) was used for the canoeing and whitewater scenes in the movie Deliverance.
As Paul Harvey used to say "And now you know the rest of the story".
