A National Park Anniversary


1. Shenandoah National Park was established on December 26, 1935. I photographed the sunset there exactly 84 years later. The first shot is framed through a car window. 

Skywatch and Friday Bliss.
2. Here's the same sunset viewed between a couple of trees at Dickey Ridge. The park is only a short distance from Front Royal, so when I go there to shop, I sometimes drive up to see the sunset.

3. Another attraction at Shenandoah National Park is wildlife, like this young deer. 


4. Moving along to a different location for Weekend Reflection, this is a glass door on a grandfather clock.

5. When Marie arrived on Wednesday, she took the bus from Dulles Airport to Front Royal, where I was waiting in the Park and Ride lot. The Virginia Breeze connects Washington, DC with Blacksburg, stopping in several cities along the way.

  2. Shenandoah is so famous all around the world from the song. I think I would love to visit, especially on that bus.
