These ruins are at the former stone quarry used during the construction of the Ashokan dam and reservoir a century ago. The reservoir is the the main source of water for NYC.
Thanks Ed. These ruins have a monumental feel to them, especially now that they’re enveloped in deep woods. There’s a metaphor there, I think…all that human ambition seems pretty transient when viewed from the deeper time of nature.
This has a timeless feel to it. Can’t help but conjure up the haunting melody of “Ashoken Farewell,” while looking at this. Nature proceeds; human ambition fades and crumbles.

I can’t say more than, I visually basked in the glory of the image.

The project of constructing that reservoir is an interesting history. Thanks for commenting.

Thanks Harrie – I’m sure you’d you enjoy a visit to this spot. I have a bunch more from here that I haven’t posted (yet).
