Our community will be sad to hear that Larry Harrop died. No details are available, other than that he died in early June.
Larry was an occasional contributor to this blog and, although I only met him once, I always thought Larry took the best rock pile photographs. He did a wonderful job capturing the mystery, atmosphere, lighting, color, and beauty, of rock pile sites- mostly in Rhode Island. When I think of Larry I will always think of rock piles in the fog. His photos remain imprinted in my mind.
His photo albums disappeared quickly from the internet but we have a few here to remind us of his work. See here.
Larry, along with his friend Bob Miner, often prowled the woods away from well worn trails, and discovered some important Native American sites in RI and neighboring states. Some of these sites were posted on his website, but he never bragged about them.
ReplyDeleteEven though his website is no longer posted on the Internet, some are working to rectify this.
Keep posted.
Larry will be missed.
I have re-created part of Larry's ceremonial-stone-landscapes.com web site at: neara.org/gallery/LarryHarrop
ReplyDeleteRight now it only has thumbnail photos, and not even quite all of them. At the time I did not have the full photos available. When Norman and I have enough time, we can improve it.
