“Summer’s
lease hath all too short a date.”
~
William Shakespeare
~ 1564-1616
Cascading
waters along the Kittatinny Ridge, also called Blue Mountain, flow like silk in harmony
in late summer, my most favorite of seasons - oh that it would last longer! I shot this long exposure capture on a beautiful August afternoon at
Lehigh Gap along the Delaware and Lehigh National Heritage Corridor (D&L
Trail).
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 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.
