“He
who marvels at the beauty of the world in summer will find equal cause for
wonder and admiration in winter.”
~ John
Burroughs
~1837-1921
A sugar
dusted portion of the Kittattiny Ridge, also called Blue Mountain, stands in
majestic silence after a December snowfall on a winter afternoon at Lehigh Gap
in this high contrast monochrome shot.
The
Lehigh Gap in Slatington, Pennsylvania, is a crossroads where the Lehigh Gap
Nature Center’s trails connect two historic trails – the Appalachian Trail and
the Delaware and Lehigh Heritage Corridor (D&L Trail).
The
Appalachian Trail, a foot path, follows the ridge on both sides of the Lehigh
Gap, running 1,245 miles south to Georgia and 930 miles north to Maine. Running
from Wilkes-Barre to Bristol, the D&L Trail passes through the Lehigh and
Delaware rivers and their canals in Pennsylvania.
