Piedmont Park is an urban inner city parkland in Atlanta.
I visited here a few times and was drawn to the dense wilderness that followed a creek in the northern corner of the park. The creek was part of a waste water system that led underground. Throughout this natural scene were many signs of human involvement - Graffiti, pipes, rubbish bins, power poles, fence lines, markers tied around the trees. The pathway I was on was ‘managed’ with a viewing point where the observer could stop and consider that particular view as a landscape, behind this point was a fence line between the cosseted Botanic Gardens which served to heighten the feeling of being managed or directed.
