I try to think about that when I go back to the "home lake". I look for something I missed. Oddly I usually find something. :) Ansel Adams spent endless amounts of time photographing the same subjects knowing that they would tell a different story every time.

seeing the same place again and again, watching how it stays the same, watching how it changes, knowing it better and better -

call it a purely temporal exploration, perhaps?

think sometimes the value that kind of exploration gets overlooked.

Not that I would’ve traded in my BVI’s trip for another week on the Hudson or anything. But someday I WOULD like to paddle the Hudson – I always enjoy the contrast between taking the boat up to Albany and taking the train back down, watching those channel markers unroll themselves in fast-rewind – love to do the same river at paddlepace, too. Wouldn’t be anything new, just new for me.

‘Course there’s the Great Hudson River Paddle but in some way there’s something that appeals to me about maybe doing it solo (please don’t tell the BCU), too.
