what an interesting photo. i’m curious to know where this was taken, and what it looked like on the other side of the wood structure ~

Hello Karyn: Thank you for commenting. The image was taken at the glacial potholes in Shelburne, MA and the wooden barrier finally gave way and things got very wet..behind the barrier is, or was, water. Anne

  thanks for answering. must have been quite the scene. i’ve got another question: approximately how wide was the barrier before it gave way?

I take no responsibility at all for the podcast…I had no idea I was supposed to do one and I don’t talk about an image’s content, that is the viewer’s job

  Very true. I hope Beth and I made it clear that our interpretations were our own, as viewers and editors. Joseph, I’m glad you thought it added to the post. Thanks for the feedback.
