More Information

This location is one of Ketchum’s favorite places to visit, and he often returned to document the changes between seasons and through time. When this photograph was taken, this area was a farm field that had been abandoned and rapidly reclaimed by wild growth. This image includes sorrel, sumac, spindle tree, dock, pokeweed, thistle, meadowsweet, bugleweed, red lobelia, loosestrife, comfrey and chicory. The three-part photograph was taken in the fall, when spindle tree and sumac leaves turn bright red.
