The Lord of Leisure1 Photo Gallery
Note: This photo was part of a set of four shots.2 The other three were posted in February 2009. While searching the Heck Of A Guy archives for Leonard Cohen World Tour reruns, I discovered this never before posted image.
Lord of Leisure writes:
This photo is a long telephoto of early spring oaks taken in early morning in the New River Gorge area of West Virginia and is even more extreme than the photo of Shenandoah National Park (seen below) in flattening the perspective so that it shows only form, texture and color. Huge enlargements of this type of photo can be very cool if they are sharp and contain much detail.

- Lord of Leisure was previously known in these posts as Mr. Science. Both Lord of Leisure and Mr Science spend most of their time disguised as Neil Ellis, mild-mannered, retired teacher at a great suburban school system, who can identify a bird by its call, complete the New York Times Friday Crossword in ink, and snap a heck of a photo. All Lord of Leisure photos can be found at Photos – Lord of Leisure. [↩]
- The other three photos in this sequences are Rainy Day Photo Of Glade Creek Grist Mill
, Dogwood In Deep Woods Of The New River Gorge, and The Wilds Of Shenandoah National Park. [↩]
On a cold, grey, winters morning, with light snow falling….your lovely photos are a source of encouragement that nature will indeed come to life again! Thnx Allan.
A beautiful image of the coming season-thanks Dr. H.-I looked at the others too and found the one of the Mill and your piece on its workings so interesting.
My memories of this area are centered around taking 9th graders whitewater rafting on the New River. The Lord of Leisure’s serene images of spring evoke an entirely different experience. Lovely.
