Harpers Ferry 2011

Wow, another long break since the last post. Below are some photos of a family trip to Harpers Ferry, a town and national historic park in West Virginia. The town and it's history are very interesting, but my personal highlight was the hike up Maryland Heights to a scenic overlook which provides a grand view over the town.

The following is an HDR picture of the entrance to the railroad tunnel through Maryland Heights. There are a few HDR pictures which I like better in black and white, because of the way it makes the additional contrast shine.

Huuh, who is this? We met this little fellow on our way down the mountain. He is a male Eastern Box Turtle who ventured too close to the hiking trail and was spotted by me.
