American Beech 3 b&w This is a creative commons image, which you may freely use by linking to this page. Please respect the photographer and his work. After autumn foliage disappears and trees are bare in the woods, the American Beech lightens the views with its pale brown leaves, which remain all winter long. The leaves in spring eventually replace the brown. The phenomenon fascinates me, yet I've not been able to photograph these forest scenes with clarity that pleases me. Of over 50 shots taken in various locations, these at Buffalo Springs Archaeological District are the best. Buffalo Springs is in Mecklenburg County, Virginia, a few miles west of Clarksville. <a href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/3.0/" rel="noreferrer nofollow"></a>This work is licensed under a <a href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/3.0/" rel="noreferrer nofollow">Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported License</a>

Virgilina Tobacco 1 This is a creative commons image, which you may freely use by linking to this page. Please respect the photographer and his work. A Southern scene (4 photos in the set). An abandoned house in disrepair with two front doors--was this a duplex? Possibly it was a tenant shack for 2 families. One substantial post and what looks like 2 poles are supporting the porch roof. There's a pile of tree parts in front. All is standing in a setting of tobacco. The April 2023 Google street view shows the house still standing. Virgilina is a community in Halifax County, Virginia; its population in 2021 was about 120 people. The name results from the town being on the North Carolina state line--"Virgi-" and "-lina" <a href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/3.0/" rel="noreferrer nofollow"></a>This work is licensed under a <a href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/3.0/" rel="noreferrer nofollow">Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported License</a>
