    In Great Falls Park, looking across the Potomac River to Virginia.

  • Crumbling Station

    The westbound platform of the Amtrak station in Harper’s Ferry, looking toward the Potomac River just after sunset.

  • Ridgeline Camp

    Where in 1862, the Union Army hunkered down for its eventual battle with the Confederates.

    The amazing forest of the Niagara Escarpment, along the Bruce Trail, northeast of Owen Sound.

  • Curved Trail

    Along the Bruce Trail, northwest of Owen Sound.

  • Rapids and a Bird

    When the veil of fog and rain finally lifted, there was yet more water. The rapids upstream of the falls have a lot of character, and stand in stark contrast to the still, leafless trees.

  • Fog at the Falls

    In the fog of the late afternoon, there was only noise. So thick was the mist in the air that the famous falls were invisible, even standing right beside the gorge into which they fell. While waiting for a break, I turned in the other direction.

  • Swamp Water

    Another from the swamp in Edgewood, about a half hour north of Baltimore. It should be worth returning in a few months amidst the snow and frozen water.
