This week on a chilly Tuesday, I did some hiking and bushwhacking in the Green Hills Preserve above North Conway. I was looking for an old trail between Middle Mountain and Rattlesnake Mountain that I used to take with friends. Part way up, on the opposite side of the ravine from the trail, was a nice cliff with many cracks and imperfections in it.

My late friend, the Conway artist Bob Gordon, commented on a couple hikes that the cliff represented the abstract in nature. He was a traditional landscape painter of the American Impressionist school, was not that fond of abstract painting, but saw it in nature and would occasionally point it out.
