97 year old white pines

This photograph was taken at 9PM on Sunday evening, showing the line of cottages along the main road at Kanuga. The cottages were built in 1909 and the white pines lining the road and now luxuriously shading the porches were planted in the same year. The chaplain's cottage porch is prominent in this view.

Several years ago a hurricane moved inland, its winds blowing east-to-west destroying all the old pines across the road. While "our" row was spared at that time, we're mindful of the need to take notice of them and to appreciate them. We cannot assume they'll be here the next time we are.
