October 7th, 2008Another Old City, Knoxville texture. While some might think it cliché to obsess about the texture of things, in my case, it’s just being able to document things I’ve been overlooking for most of my life.
Living in the younger part of a country, one misses the texture of things older than 200 years. Or at least things that look older than 200 years. o

Beautiful, love the perspective!
There is a *lot* of old stuff in Utah – it’s just not man-made.

If we start seeing photos of McCain on this site, we’ll know why
Nice shot btw.
LOVE this photo – composition, colour, texture, everything. Very nice.
It always throws me to hear Americans discussing 200-year-old buildings as ‘old’, as I live in England next to Hadrian’s Wall which was built in AD122 by the Roman Empire…I guess it puts it all into perspective. I live in a beautiful and historic city (Newcastle-upon-Tyne) and try my best to appreciate it every day rather than let it pass me by…I might not always have this incredible history to look upon if I move away!
I’ll be on a photo trip to Durham (England!) on Sunday taking shots of a nearly 1000-year old cathedral – http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Durham_Cathedral – hopefully I can do it a little justice at least
