Emerson's Cliff, Walden Pond
Concord, Massachusetts
5 September 1999
When I next returned with my paints to Walden Pond, I was suddenly struck with the idea of working my way around the pond, making paintings of particular sites. I studied the pond map and settled on the better marked points. I had to leave the trail now and then (a no-no) but figured it was for a good cause. Looking at the map again, I notice that I was actually in Lincoln, Massachusetts when I painted this — just over the Concord town line.
Here is a link to a photo of a view from Emerson's Cliff about 100 years ago. Now it is all closed in with trees — I wasn't able to see the pond at all.
