It turns out embattled South Carolina gov Mark Sanford desecrated the land of my birth.
This ties in very nicely with a Flickr discovery I made yesterday, namely this collection of photographs of Long Island taken by this fellow Long Islander and Nikon D300 user.
Her photos include this priceless piece of Long Island culture, which one day will no doubt take its rightful place alongside Korea’s Joseon-era royal tombs on UNESCO’s list of World Heritage Sites.
On a serious note, it never ceases to amaze me just how I failed to see when I was younger. Some day, I’d really like to visit Long Island with my camera and a better appreciation of the region’s history and culture.

Re that last paragraph in your write-up – your photos of Korea make me feel the same.
But what about the Big Pencil?
I was out at Jones Beach yesterday … gorgeous day.
Carl Yastremski came from Long Island – his father was a potato farmer.
