1. It's been wet for several days so I'm starting with a wet pavement photo. We've had storms followed by clearing followed by more storms. Now the roads are flooding and fire departments are posting warnings to stay off the roads!

2. The bridge on Criser Road is closed while it is being rebuilt. Traffic to the library can come in from Route 340.

5. Just to the left of the Greenway is a sign marking the future site of a monument honoring the families who had to leave their farms so that Shenandoah National Park could be built. It will be similar to the monument we visited in Sperryville.

I would not want to be a displaced family. But for a park ok. We were displaced by progress. We had to sell our little farm we were in the way of developement.
ReplyDeleteSorry about all the rain

Lot of rain this week here in MS, too. And we have had to detour around road work - old unsafe bridges being replaced. Detours can be aggravating, but I am glad they are replacing bridges now instead of waiting until someone is hurt crossing them
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful weekend!
It will be a fine monument to those families who had to get out of their homes. Great photos Linda. We have had a lot of rain too but maybe not as much as you as I have seen no flood watches on the news.
ReplyDelete...wow, that first shot sure is dramatic. In history, people are push around a lot! Thanks for stopping by, enjoy your week.
ReplyDeleteThey can never make up for displacing those families! I find it one of the saddest chapters in our history.
ReplyDeleteI always enjoy your posts...we had a spring flood here last month, and I always feel for those who are affected by them. Many old families here have had to relocate for parks and building of reservoirs...even an entire church and cemetery.
ReplyDeleteI really like your first photo of the rainy streets.
ReplyDeleteI like the Happy Creek photo. I suppose it is more of an "angry"
ReplyDeletecreek now with the flooding. I hope you get a break from the rains soon so things can dry out for you.
That first shot is amazing!
ReplyDeleteThe rainy street photo is fantastic, I like it a lot.
ReplyDeleteThe first photo is well captured and very dramatic - I know that weather well!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photographs. I like the stormy sky best.
ReplyDeleteIt can be easy to forget all that went on with creating a National Park. Nice memorial.
ReplyDeleteMany were pushed on to make areas for all to use.
ReplyDeleteI love the top and bottom shots.
ReplyDeleteRain is good for reflections but I haven't seen any since moving back to California.
Great shot.
