Discoveries on the Road to the Nature Center

This is the way to the Nature Center, but going in the opposite direction from yesterday's pastel.

The discoveries were not found on the road, but while browsing the Internet this morning. I found a reference to color photos made in Russia between 1909 and 1915. The dates are correct. They are fabulous. See http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Sergei_Mikhailovich_Prokudin-Gorskii. Then I did a search at commons.wikimedia.org on "pastel paintings," just for the heck of it, and found a fascinating artist with the great name of Lesser Ury who did pastels. His dates are 1861 to 1931. He was a German expressionist. Check out his work at http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Lesser_Ury .
