death in the landscape

My ancestors; some known to me, some lived too long ago for personal knowledge. Of those known to me, I often feel their presence here, and suffer their absence in places where once I expected their presence.

State Street
downtown Columbus, Ohio

Days after the demolition of several historic homes on State Street in downtown Columbus, the shadow of one still appears as a memory writ into the wall of the adjoining building.

These homes, which presented a welcoming face to pedestrians, a broken and varied streetfront with frequent doors and more-frequent windows, were leveled only to be replaced by a surface parking lot, and an eventual (should plans materialize) parking garage.

This continues the death of downtown as a place for people and its replacement with a place for cars, where humans shun the cold and faceless streets.

A very sad death, indeed, for someone who loves boats (and old wooden boats in particular), yet is currently unable to actually afford one.

November

For many plants of the garden and trees of the hills, the death of autumn is actually more of a hibernation, a waiting for the hospitable spring to return.

Greenlawn Cemetary | Link
Columbus, Ohio

I believe that my great-grandfather is buried somewhere on these grounds. I drove around, thinking to look in some section with old German names.

Greenlawn Cemetary is located just outside the historic German Village, however, so this plan was quite ineffective at eliminating any sections.

It would be simpler just to ask -- I know my mother and her cousin Mary Jo visited his grave when Mary Jo was in town from Australia this spring. As it was, it gave me a good excuse to wander around and explore.
