Walden Pond in Concord, Massachusetts is considered by many to be the birthplace of the modern day environmental movement. This page contains my photographs of the pond and its surroundings as well as several quotations by Henry David Thoreau. Thoreau lived in a cabin by the pond from 1845 to 1847 and subsequently published his most famous book "Walden" in 1854. Additional photographs of Thoreau artifacts such as his desk, cot, chair, snow shoes, etc. were taken at the Concord Museum. The photograph of Thoreau's headstone was taken at the Sleepy Hollow Cemetery in Concord.

"To effect the quality of the days, that is the highest of the arts. Every man is tasked to make his life, even in its details, worthy of the contemplation of his most elevated and critical hour."
