Glad you like it!  This photo was taken about eleven years ago while I was working on an archaeological survey in Florida.  The sherds were located near a turpentine camp whch is a backwoods camp that tapped evergreens for sap which was rendered into turpentine. I don't recall the exact process, but it was quite lucrative for many decades. These camps dated to the first half of the 20th century.

we have no other photographs with that title! :-) ...excellent shot, bob. interesting, textural, colorful, sharp and smooth, and just confusing enough to make the viewer say "huh?"
