May 6, 2008 - Moss and a small stream

Yesterday I visited the Cancer Survivors Park to reflect. It is the place I visit when I’m sad. The tragic lose of life in Myanmar, from the cyclone, was the reason for my sadness and reflection … Last night I drove by the Red Cross center and took a couple of photos. Due to the lighting, they were not the photos I chose to share. However, I would like to encourage my readers to contribute to the Red Cross and Red Cresent relief efforts.

Continuing the Fall theme, from the last few photos, I am sharing a photo of leaves on the rock staircase in the Cancer Survivors Park in downtown Greenville. You may remember these photos of the rock staircase which I have shown in the past:

• July 7, 2007 - Where the rock staircase leads
• July 3, 2007 - Rock staircase
• April 15, 2007 - Playing with shadows and light
• January 31, 2007 - Rock staircase in Cancer Survivors Park

July 7, 2007 - Where the rock staircase leads

Earlier this week I posted this photo of a rock staircase at the Cancer Survivor’s Park in downtown Greenville. Several readers asked where the staircase leads … today’s photo shows the tomb like structure to which it leads. I do not know the history behind this structure and I hope a local reader will post a comment with information … Extra photos have been shared showing different perspectives and the path you see after climbing up the staircase. Click on the thumbnails for a larger image.

PS: A loyal reader, Rock, found the following information about the stone building in this photo. Rock said that he “asked a Greenville historian that writes columns for the Greenville News about the building. She said that it wasn’t slave building at all… that all slaves were sold in front of the court house on Main St the first Monday of every month which was considered sales days. She was told, but really not sure, that it was manmade (note the Gothic stone arch) built after Furman came to Greenville to shelter the water source for the university.”

July 3, 2007 - Rock staircase

I have shown several photos of these rock staircases but I don’t think I have shared this angle before. Previous photos of these staircases can be seen here and here. These staircases provide adventure for the young and the young at heart.

June 26, 2007 - A fence preserved in the Cancer Survivors

I find admirable the effort put forth to perserve this fence in the Cancer Survivors Park in downtown Greenville. You can access their website here. Following are links to previous post about the Cancer Survivors Park here and here.

April 18, 2007 - White flowers

I found a serene photo to escape into when I selected this photo from my archives. The scene is of the Cancer Survivor’s Park in downtown Greenville. You may remember this photo taken on the same day. 

I am so sad for the parents, families and friends of those students who lost their lives in Monday’s horrid killings at Virginia Tech.

April 15, 2007 - Playing with shadows and light

I took this photo on last Friday during a lunch time stroll. In the photo I was trying to capture shadows and light. Of specific interest was the light illuminated white flowers next to a rock staircase in shadow. The photo was taken at the Cancer Survivors Park in downtown Greenville.
