Prints of the Pinelands
Today’s aerial shots of the Tabernacles historic site called Tunking Mill. It was a cold winter day which has some beautiful landscapes which I enjoyed photographing.The location has that beautiful Pine Barrens aka Pine lands silence to it.
I love this area of the NJ pine lands which was shown to me by my mentor Steve Greer a great photographer and friend. I miss him.
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.
