A great photo of New Jersey's cranberry past

[Gibby]

I have a fondness for black and white photographs, to me they capture something more than color alone can't express. What it is exactly I can not explain in words. This link is to a photograph on a great website, one of my favorites and I would like to share it with everyone here. Some might know it and some might not. The photograph is of a moment in a farmer's day, nothing more than routine. Enjoy it and take a moment to wander thru the website. There are so many suprising photographs on it and all of them are gorgeous.

We have discussed this site before but after doing a search here I could not find a mention of it. In any event, here are a few interesting ones.

The second picture says Forsythes Bog, Turkeytown near Pemberton. Where is this?

I believe the moss press was the photo we discussed here years ago. I have viewed that before.

The clarity of most, if not all of the photographs is amazing. The quality and craftsmanship of the handmade lenses of the day are apparent in what you view. My modern Olympus Pen can't even come close. I can get lost for hours at a time looking through the catalogs. I in particular, especially enjoy the railroad grouping. Some of those pictures are surreal! These two are my favorites.
