In keeping with my longstanding fascination with the Wood between Worlds (since college, as my friend Ruth recently reminded me), I’m instituting a new blog tradition: one picture a week, on Mondays, that depicts (to me, if not to the original artist!) some aspect of the Wood. (The hard part will be choosing which one, since I have quite a storehouse of them now.) I’ll try to avoid much commentary, and let the pics speak for themselves.

Wood for the Week #1 is a photograph taken by Frances S. and Mary E. Allen. It’s called “Forest Pool.” It’s taken somewhere around 1905-1911, and there’s more information about its photographers here. (I also ran across it in a blog, discussed as a “Wood between Worlds,” here.) Follow the links to see the picture.
