The Indian Tower of Nazareth Pennsylvania

The Indian Tower, with its surrounding plot of grass and trees, is a facinating subject for photograpy. It has many moods. Its position at the top of the hill means it is caught in every whim of light and weather. The sycamores and sumacs around it have grown in graceful, almost celebratory forms that add to its striking look.


The picture above was taken from the fields to the south and a little east, late on an almost clear autumn day. Next to the tower is the memorial mound and monument bearing the names of people who were once buried here.
This picture was taken from the stones bordering the tower lawn, from roughly east. Along the horizon to the left is the ridge referred to as the Pennsylvania Highlands or South Mountain.
This picture was taken from the road below the tower. That clump of trees at the top forms the borders of the tower lawn.

More to come.
