i don't think Gordon was walking away from anything in (circa) 1970. the impression i got from this photo was that he's walking along a railroad track, but in the horizon isee what appears to be a building which suggests city life, whereas the forest he's walking away from suggests the rural side of life. certainly, Gordon has written a lot about both sides.

(from now on, my signature will be sweet baby james. "James Hill" sounds too stuffy.)
