Undeveloped Country

Do you like this story?

It's rare to see a vacant lot in the thickly settled northern suburbs anymore. When you do see one, the contrast between something and nothing is striking.

The "nothing," of course, is very much something---a parking lot, in this case.

But the trees and the carpet of fallen leaves suggest a kind of contact with the land as it once was.

So without digging, just by stopping and looking, you become a pedestrian archeologist.

And I mean pedestrian in both senses.
