The Tharpe Trace trail follows the bluff around Mead's Quarry. It's a strenuous hike, but it's one of my favorites. The drowned marble quarry and surrounding property, an abandoned repository for junk and a popular site for criminal activity for many years, was purchased a few years ago by Ijams Nature Center. While the footprint of industry remains, nature is reclaiming its own. And of course, I've taken some interesting shots of this in-between-land that I'll post later.

Bet the birds are loving those berries.
it's amazing how quickly nature takes back the land. Those berries look so cheerfully wintery..
I'll use my favourite pun - Berry Nice!
A sunny day and beautiful beries. Much more cheerful than down here. Rain and more rain.!
