“All
human beings are dream beings. Dreaming ties all men together.”
~ Jack Kerouac
~ 1922-1969
The
stillness of a late December day standing by a partially frosted Lehigh River
at Lehigh Gap is the perfect place for dreaming and reflecting. Always take
time to dream!
I
captured this high contrast monochrome shot near the Lehigh Gap Bridge, which
spans the river in the shadow of the Kittatiny Ridge, also called Blue
Mountain.
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.
The
Lehigh Gap Bridge was built in 1930 and rehabilitated in 1984.
