Utter Photesquerie


Today I'm introducing a new feature, Photesquerie: Snapshots of the Macabre Republic.  At first I'll be posting pictures I've taken myself, but as the blog grows I hope to include photos that readers have submitted from their own neck of the M.R. woods.

The snapshot above was taken on a main road in the nearby town of Clifton, NJ.  I have no idea if that's kudzu or some other form of aggressive vegetation that has grown along the wire stretching across the street.  All I know is that it creeps me out: I tense up every time I drive underneath, half-expecting the vines to come swooping down like some living, Lovecraftian netting.

And after reading Scott Smith's The Ruins, I figure it's time to find an alternate route through Clifton...

Please note: Disagreement is inevitable; disparagement is intolerable. You can differ from someone else's opinion without having to resort to an attack on that person (any improper/insulting commentary will be deleted from this blog). So please remember to show some civility to your M.R. brethren. Thanks--Joe.
