Collecting Details

These 50 images below are all visual representations of my groups territory. I tried to capture things I haven’t seen, all through photography, since this area is beautiful I didn’t want to disrupt the landscapes representation. From having to walk around this area, I saw various parts of this territory I’ve never paid attention to. For example, there are three large stone pillars on the side of the greenery blocking the sidewalk. When I took a step back I noticed how identical they are, yet from many years of being planted here, they have aged each separately. I also tried to take pictures of objects I never noticed. If you scroll to the very last few photos you can see theres a sculpture hiding within the trees which I found very amusing.
