I will miss the open space.

Hollister, California is a real town that has been around since the 1870s. Unlike the fictional town created by a corporate clothing company, Hollister is no where near a beach. The town is about 45 miles east of the Pacific Ocean. Seagulls occasionally make their way over the mountains. Hopefully, they are able to find their way back.

Even though we make our living in the building trade I hate seeing great expanses of green disappear.

What a beautiful spot. Sad how many natural landscapes are lost to development.
ReplyDeleteIn British Columbia we have an Act that is supposed to protect farmland from being developed, but unfortunately it doesn't always accomplish what it should.... very sad to see those beautiful fields disappear.
ReplyDeleteThe little city I am from in Central KY fights tooth and nail to keep more developemnt from eating up our precious bluegraa/horse land. Some people just feel the need to be richer. My thoughts are always "Who buys these houses?" They never truly become part of the town, just use it as a bed room commmunity. Anyway I'll step off my soap box and say that I am enjoying your pictures.
ReplyDeleteFor those who knew what was before, it is sad. For those who move in... it will be home. Just too bad - there is something nice about wild open space.

Alphawoman, I'm glad you're enjoying the photos. I appreciate your comments. With all the foreclosures that have happened and are still going on in our area, I sometimes wonder who would be buying the new houses.
ReplyDeleteMeryl, you make a positive point that I must remember to keep in mind. :-)
