The Pine Barrens, also known as the Pinelands or simply the Pines. I like the heavily forested area of coastal plain stretching across more than seven counties of New Jersey. The name “pine barrens” refers to the area’s sandy, acidic, nutrient-poor soil.

I like wandering the Pine lands looking for fine art photographic locations. I still have lots of ground to cover before the snow starts falling and the roads are in-passable. If you would like to explore the Pines, a good place to start is the Wharton Track.

Continuing my search in the Pinelands for interesting flora to create some fine art work.

The Pine Barrens, also known as the Pinelands or simply the Pines, is a heavily forested area of coastal plain stretching across more than seven counties of New Jersey. The name “pine barrens” refers to the area’s sandy, acidic, nutrient-poor soil. Although European settlers could not cultivate their familiar crops there, the unique ecology of the Pine Barrens supports a diverse spectrum of plant life, including orchids and carnivorous plants. The area is also notable for its populations of rare pygmy pitch pines and other plant species that depend on the frequent fires of the Pine Barrens to reproduce. The sand that composes much of the area’s soil is referred to by the locals as sugar sand.

I’m testings a new theme and trying to get the bugs work out. Please bear with me.

This shot was taken at sunset at Chadsworth Lake in 2015 with my old Nikon gear, I have since switched to Olympus M4/3 for all the benefits that mirror less bring to digital photography.

Please leave comment, they are appreciated. Thanks Lou

Hello Pine Barrens!

Landscape photo from Bass River state park

Welcome to the Pine lands of New jersey, I love the Pines its a special place that is like no other place on the planet.

A Truly Special Place

This is truly a special place. It’s classified as a United States Biosphere Reserve and in 1978 was established by Congress as the country’s first National Reserve. It includes portions of seven southern New Jersey counties, and encompasses over one-million acres of farms, forests and wetlands. It contains 56 communities, from hamlets to suburbs, with over 700,000 permanent residents.
