Aether

For thousands of years people have worked to construct a model of how things flow through the Universe. Aristotle and the Greeks thought that beyond earth and between planets and stars was an 'aether', a fifth element. When Michelson and Morley conducted experiments to measure the speed of light between mountain tops, they hypothesized light traveled through this same ether. So this week I have been making sense of my fascination with water flowing over rocks. When I looked at my history of photo taking I realized a theme. When I was a kid we lived near Ralph Stover State Park in Bucks County, PA. We spent family picnic time there and I remember rock stepping across the Tohickon Creek. I remember another time at Worlds End State Park . Here is the evolving theme of my fascination with shorelines, water and rocks.
