One seagull sails in for a landing
as the rest soak up the late winter sunshine on a March afternoon at the Forks
of the Delaware, the confluence of the Lehigh and Delaware Rivers where Easton,
Pennsylvania and Phillipsburg, New Jersey, meet. I shot this near Delaware Canal
State Park, Easton near the Forks of the Delaware Trailhead of the Delaware
& Lehigh National Heritage Corridor (D&L Trail). The Forks of the Delaware
is where the Lehigh River merges into the Delaware River.
The
trail is positioned between the Delaware River and Delaware Canal, which was
designated a National Historic Landmark in 1978. The site possesses national
significance in commemorating the history of the United States of America.
Running
from Wilkes-Barre to Bristol, the D&L Trail passes through the Lehigh and
Delaware rivers and their canals in Pennsylvania.
