My name is Dennis, I live in southeast Pennsylvania in the rolling hills of sprawling suburbia between Reading and Philadelphia, birthplace of Our Nation. I have an interest in all things old and/or historic: roads, buildings cemeteries; and all things nature: scenery, sunsets/rises, plants, animals (I will brake to avoid any living thing...chipmunks, turtles, deer, even moths fluttering on the road...(lol, well, if i see them in time...moths, that is). I am 48, married with 7 grown 1 almost grown kids....5 grandkids...6 step-grandkids, etc. I grew up in a house built in 1719 that was an inn at the time of the revolutionary war, just 500 yards down the road from a makeshift hospital for the soldiers from Valley Forge (at the former German Reformed Church). It is documented that General Washington spent many nights there after visiting his sick and wounded soldiers, so you might say from an early age i developed an interest in local and Early American History....I am also interested in how many colonial and post-colonial homes have fallen into disrepair and abandonment. They are a part of our shared heritage, no matter if someone famous lived there or not, and I try to document them, and the mood of loss they convey to me.

"What can you say about road_less_trvled....his photostream is truly interesting and diverse. He brings history to life in his photographic
captures of historic structures and locations. His collections of eerie,
adandoned houses and cemteries bring a shiver to your bones, while his collections of nature, animal and family photos bring a smile to your face. He is a very talented versatile photographer
who is truly amazing. You'll be clicking "favorite" on all of his photos because you'll always want to go back and look at them one more time."

"one of the first groups i found on flickr was "roads less traveled", seemed to be just the right group for a backroad drifter like me..Dennis brings roads to life..makes me want to travel the word..his pictures are beautiful and always leading somewhere, down that road of life. I love all his ventures..."

"Dennis knows how to find places that have long been forgotten and bring them to life for you to appreciate and enjoy. After looking at his photos you will have an unquenchable desire to buy a "Money Pit'" to fix it up and move into it. Don't fight this feeling...just come back and look at more of Dennis' photos. It will pass. Unless you have the money...then do it."
