It is that time of year. Thousands of snow geese are at Middle Creek Wildlife Management Area for their annual stop-over as they make their way north. There are approximately 60,000 snow geese and 5,000 tundra swans at Middle Creek as of 3/12/14. Snow geese, tundra swans, Canada geese and a variety of other birds stop at Middle Creek every year in late February, early March en route to their breeding grounds to the north. The birds take advantage of favorable […]
The Philadelphia & Reading Railroad Bridge carries Norfolk Southern rail lines across the Susquehanna River between Cumberland County Pennsylvania and Harrisburg Pennsylvania. Some of its concrete piers encase stone masonry piers from an earlier truss bridge on this site, completed in 1891 by the Philadelphia,Harrisburg and Pittsburgh Railroad, which was then acquired by the Philadelphia and Reading Railroad to connect its Harrisburg and Lurgan lines. The current structure was constructed from 1920 to 1924 by replacing the trusses […]
My friend Larry and I want to explore the ice on the Susquehanna River. We ended up at Harrisburg City island. Even though it was a cold and cloudy morning. I made a few images more so for a reference for another time when clouds are in the sky and the early morning light is better. I was looking at my images again from that morning a few days later and decided to process a couple of them. After […]
The Rockville Bridge, at the time of its completion in 1902, was, and remains, the longest stone masonry arch railroad viaduct in the world. Constructed between April 1900 – April 1902 by the Pennsylvania Railroad. The bridge opened March 30, 1902. It has forty-eight 70 foot spans for a total length of 3,820 feet. The bridge crosses the Susquehanna River north of Harrisburg Pennsylvania. Two rail lines use the bridge, Norfolk Southern Railway and Amtrak Keystone Corridor. The bridge […]
Back in October my wife and I along with five other couples rented a house at the Outer Banks. The first few days there it was windy as in 15 to 18 mph with gust up to 30 mph. I was hoping to get to the beach for sunrise. No way was I going to take my camera out on the beach with the wind blowing like it was. Than finally one morning it was calm so I […]
This is one of those images that I liked enough to shoot but was not not sure exactly why. I do not delete any images from the camera when I’m out shooting and this image is a prime example why I don’t. Some images when I look at the LCD on the back of the camera I think man I can’t wait to work on this one. And than there are one’s I think why did I […]
When the weather is anything but friendly don’t stay in. Grab your camera and go make some images. It had snowed the night before. At sunrise the temperature was 6deg with a high of 10deg for the day wind 15 to 20mph with gust of 30mph. Driving around that morning I came upon this scene. The early morning light skimming across the land is what caught my eye.
