Description
"Land really is the best art." ~ Andy Warhol, 1928-1987. The day all winters dream to be paints itself around the Springhouse at Trexler Memorial Park, Allentown, Pennsylvania. Icicles fringe the roof of the log cabin surrounded by a fresh March snowfall, blazing blue skies and bright sunshine. It's one of my very favorite places to be and to photograph. The log cabin was part of Springhouse, the summer home of General Harry C. Trexler (1854-1933), an American industrialist who built a business empire in Allentown. The park is his namesake.

Lovely winter scene! I walked that park many times Tami!
Tami Quigley replied:
Thanks so much Marcia, really appreciate it! Oh wow small world you know the park! There used to be a greenhouse in the park that my late grandfather was in charge of, and my grandparents actually lived in a house in the park due to his job, it's torn down now but was at the bottom of the road that goes up to the upper plateau, so a very special place to me with wonderful memories. Glad you've enjoyed it too!

Nice work! I especially like the contrast of light and dark--and still showing detail in the dark portion--of the cabin...L/F
