Historic Canal
In a span of over 15 years, I have traveled the majority of the 44-mile long Delaware Raritan Canal and 22-mile feeder. In the last several years, I have become increasingly aware of the significance of this canal which immigrant laborers dug by hand over a four-year period in the early 1830s. Originally built as a way to transport goods from Philadelphia to NYC, the canal is now part of the National Recreation Trail System. This recreational corridor is now a place where nature, historic remnants and eclectic man-made artifacts happily coexist.
Today, countless nature lovers, walkers, runners and bikers use the canal and towpath that runs along side it. Despite the fact that there are no people in any of the images, a human presence and a nod to a time long past is pervasive. The lightly toned black and white arched top images are reminiscent of photographs from the 1800s. These photographs explore various sections of this historic canal.
