A quick search yielded this collection of photos:<br /><br />https://www.stateparks.com/high_point_photography.html<br /><br />In which the trees look pretty terrible as well! I will try to find out when the pictures were taken. The first two, for example, have pines with serious damage. The picnic table scene towards the end has fallen logs on the ground. I am very curious as to how recently these images reflect the park!Gail Zawackihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01800944469843206253noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5549306427964459740.post-19720826276104935832010-05-03T19:01:40.844-04:002010-05-03T19:01:40.844-04:00I've been looking at many other pictures of Hi...I've been looking at many other pictures of High Point State Park on the web, and I have to say that it looks pretty unhealthy in your pictures compared to the others I've seen. It's difficult to compare, given that the other pictures don't tend to have any indication of which year they were taken, or which month.<br /><br />I have a suggestion: When you go to somewhere like that, which has obviously been photographed thousands of times over the years, try to find one or two pictures that you can pin down to exact dates from previous years before you go, and then see if you can take similar pictures when you're there, for comparison. It should be easier for somewhere famous and well-visited like that - I've seen lots of pictures with the monument in, or taken from the monument, for example. Just a thought...<br /><br />All the best,<br />John.Icarusnoreply@blogger.com
