This image I created on campus at Appalachian State University mainly because I liked the way the trees were uniformly spaced apart and obviously deliberately and decoratively planted that way by someone in a way that they thought would be the best choice to garden the campus. This image looks beyond the trees though and shows the town of Boone through scattered buildings of apartments, classes, and downtown, all falling between the trees and the mountain view. This image encapsulates Boone’s almost perfectly balanced ratio of humanity and nature, while the human elements in the image are prevalent through the buildings, they are still overpowered/being seen through nature, which is exactly how I view Boone. #appalachianechoes
