From "The Parkways Project" — In the 1960's the most vibrant place amid any National Park would almost always be the picnic grounds. In August 2019 returned to the Blue Ridge Parkway for the first time since I was 27 years old. Which seems odd to me now, but the reasons make sense. One of the old original Civilian Conservation Corps handcrafted picnic tables. The NPS set the standard across America for what families could count upon for a feast while in a State or National Park area. The table is made of poured aggregate concrete; convention was that the materials for the aggregate would come from surrounding vicinity, to allow the tables to blend, to meld into the scenery. The wood, when used, would come from surrounding timber logged and planed nearby. This insured a benefit to the local economy. It was a time when such things mattered dearly to us as a Nation. The table resides proudly in the same place it was planted years ago by young men's hands; the CCC workers were part of a Public Works program instated by Franklin D. Roosevelt. The leaves are about to start turning, as it is August. The lichen and moss-covered boulders give the site a magical feel. Colors are pale greens and yellows, soft faded browns and tans of the earth abound. A misty fog, so often accompanying you when visiting in late August and September, softens the forest behind as would scrim drapery on a theater stage. I dearly love the picnic grounds in the National Parks and the State Parks in this era of our existence. There are words still present in these places. When I'm in these arenas of Time's passages, I recede into almost a reverie; a quietude. Wielding a camera in places of this accord is the closest thing to painting I've ever found. I'll be writing about these observations once I get "The Parkways Projects" up and running.
