Rochester Castle in Kent is one of my favourite places to visit. It has a really good atmosphere and sense of history. Most days you can get what I consider a good photograph there no matter what the weather! Rochester Castle is one of the finest examples of Norman architecture in England. Its keep, one of the tallest in the country, measures 113 feet high, 70 feet square and has walls 12 feet thick in places. It was constructed by the Bishop of Rochester around 1090 and is now looked after by English Heritage

“In 1837, the City of Rochester purchased a tract of almost fifty-four acres and dedicated it for cemetery purposes on 3 October 1838. It was the first of the great Victorian cemeteries to be developed by a municipality. In 1839 the City built a decorative entrance and in 1874 replaced an early gatehouse with the present cemetery office and belltower, a neo-Romanesque design of the Rochester architect, A.J. Warner. The elaborate design of the entrance area was expanded by the construction of the Gothic chapel in 1863, by the ornamental fountain surrounded by a circular drive, by the white Moorish revival gazebo to the right of the entrance drive, and in 1912 by the addition of a crematorium to the chapel. The crematorium was the work of J. Foster Warner, the son of the architect of the office.” Photographed at Mt.

Taken at Letchworth State Park which is a state park, about an hour and a half south of Rochester near Mt Morris NY. It is an absurdly gorgeous park featuring several massive waterfalls spread over 14,350-acres and 70 miles of hiking trails. It is part of the Genesee Gorge, also known as the Grand Canyon of the East. The well maintained grounds echo the passion for preservation of the depression era Civilian Conservation Corps who are largely responsible for shaping the park’s appearance as it still stands today. The park is located roughly 1 hour south of the city.

So I went down to Rochester’s Lower Falls park expecting to shoot these great images of the Falls, that you could only see mist emanating from in my previous black and white bridge shots. I didn’t find any spot that I could get an unobstructed view of the falls but I did find this. There are four monolithic (a quatralith?) Black stone pillars with faces and hands carved into them, appearing to be trying to break free in some cases. In the center of the four pieces is a marble block on which it is inscribed “The seat of forgetting and remembering.” The Rochester Wiki has a very little bit of info. The Seat of Forgetting and Remembering The Sculpture was created by Adriana Ippel Slutzky, a sculptor/art educator who taught at the Rochester School for the Deaf. It was unvield in 2001 as part of the annual Rose Festival to celebrate the trail and overlook improvements made to the park.
The season is catching up with me and all the time I used to spend taking and processing photos seems to have disappeared in a pile of wrapping paper, scotch tape, and last minute shopping… C’est la guerre. So it’s back into the Zooomr archive for me, this one from last fall (obviously). A bed of autumn leaves fallen by the Genesee River Gorge in Lower Falls park.
