My tribute to 'The Hill'

A small hill in Springfield, OR has been a nice natural area within the city. Deer and various birds, including eagles, shared the forest on the hill. Now it is being developed and soon homes will fill up the hill. New streets have been constructed and work is in progress. I took one more hike around the hill to record some of the natural beauty before it is gone.

What a beautiful place Vern, such a shame that it has to be developed. A lovely record of it to keep.

I loved going up there to pick apples or blackberries, and especially to just enjoy the view! You know we sold that beautiful house and moved, right? Otherwise, I would have loved for you to have stopped in!

Well documented Vern. In todays economy, you have to wonder if its prudent to build more. Reminds me of many spots/hills in Montana. Linda S

That is so sad, but unfortunately, some people think this is progress.

Sad to see nature being trampled down,and taken away. A really nice set of shots showing the hill.

Nice record of "The Hill" looks like you got there just in time!

It's all a bit sad Vern, and there's no stopping so called "progress". Makes you wonder if people really do care about the vanishing environment.

Nice tribute to the hill, Vern. Sorry to hear you're losing that open space.

Beautiful tribute to this soon to be lost forever haven. Ever wonder why they call destroyers, developers?

What a fascinating combination of shots exalting the pure nature and then those with Man's footprint clearly stamped across them...you did a fine job portraying this place, Vern. Well done collection. v.

Vern, a very nice "tribute". I especially like 125 and 131.
