This is one that the photography process does not quite do justice. If you could only see the original... Oh well. This idealic scene actually shows the cut at the end of this neighborhood for the bypass. Hence the symbolic nature of the title. The scrappy old red cedars (and other 2nd growth wood) that had inhabited the property after farming was discontinued have been removed along with the hill, so that all you see now is what is left at the brow of the hill behind the fence line. Beyond that is the new alignment of south Haskell Avenue. Now you would see in this view a retaining wall as well as a jogging trail on the left.
Done with pencil and marker on a 9x5 sketch pad in early January. It was not too cold that day as I recall.
