The Good: The view from the church is spectacular! You can see the Shenandoah River and the point where it meets the Potomac. The historic town lies before you, much of it preserved by the National Park Service. In the distance are hills of two different states, Maryland and Virginia.
I'm sharing the first image with Mosaic Monday.
The Random: On the Maryland cliffs is the "ghost" of an old advertising sign painted in 1906 for "Mennen’s Borated Talcum Toilet Powder." The word Powder is still legible, in spite of efforts made in 1963 to remove the paint. Read about it on this Park Service page.
The Fun: Many of my readers are photo-bloggers and they know that taking pictures is fun! This woman was composing a picture of the church.
The rock face shot made me laugh at my own 'jumped to' conclusion! I though - why is there a water mark on that picture it spoils it! Then I read the post and found out what it was!!

ReplyDeleteI haven't been to Harper's Ferry in a few years. The mosaic is lovely, as is the sign and smiled at a fellow photographer's enthusiasm and could relate. I doubt my knees could take that pose any more though :)
ReplyDeleteHello, I always enjoy the Harper's Ferry area. The river scenes are beautiful. The church is pretty. Happy Tuesday, enjoy your day!
