LNDSCP 1

Arrived in an area marked for scenic vistas. Set-up tri-pod and camera to videograph the view. Read Clark's lecture on Symbolic Landscape which gave rise to thoughts on Petrarch, Duke of Berry and the Northern Renaissance.

The recorded Maine landscape that I am preoccupied with is not one of symbols. Less joyous, they read more objectively, hence the term recorded.

Felt the sun move across my back as I sat out here. Listened to people pass behind me, people and cars. Bugs, yes. Litter, yes.
