Earlier this month I took a hike along the river at Swallow Falls State Park in Western Maryland. (Please see more text and second photo below)
It turned out to be a warm winter day though due to the recent cold snap the trails in the park were covered with ice and snow. While heading for one of the observation points near the Swallow Falls portion of the park, I captured this view of a group walking dogs next to the falls.
The falls are beautiful on their own, but the hikers and dogs silhouetted against the raging river added a great deal of interest to the image. I am especially thankful to the guy in the photo who looks like he is about to throw a snow ball at one of his friends. It added some action to the shot.
Below is a second photo of the falls take a little further down the river sans hikers.
Thanks for dropping by today and I hope you all have a very happy St. Patrick’s Day on Tuesday.
You did such a wonderful job of capturing that time when winter starts to loose it’s grip on the earth…Love the wonderful lighting and raw physical nature of this part of the river.
