My Old Stomping Ground

 My mother used to call this area her old stomping ground.  These photos were made near Norris, Tennessee, at and around the Norris Dam area.  My mother graduated from Norris High School.  I could say it is my old stomping grounds, too, since I have been to these beloved sights so often in my life.  They all hold a special place in my heart and it was so wonderful to visit them again recently after a long absence.

Time Traveling

Here I am standing at the over look at Norris Dam in the fall of 1966.

 

My husband Clint standing in the same spot as I was
above in May 2012, 46 years later.

 

 

My sister Patti and I standing by a tower at Norris Dam
in the fall of 1966.

 

It's a little difficult to see but I placed an arrow at the "tower"
where my sister Patti and I were standing
in the previous photo in 1966.

The same spot as above 47 years later.  This photo
was made in May 2012. 

I was struck how much moss there was in the photo.



Father Time, could you slow down a little bit ... please?
