Winter Gold At The Bridge ...

“There is no abstract art. You must always start with something. Afterward you can remove all traces of reality.”

             ~ Pablo Picasso

               ~ 1881 ~ 1973

The golden hour of a beautiful late February day illuminates patches of snow and the Little Lehigh Creek to the right of a path at Lehigh Parkway, Allentown, Pennsylvania, that leads to the Interstate 78 bridge that drapes above the peaceful parkway in this painterly, HDR image I shot as sunset loomed.

The busy interstate that drives above the bucolic setting is an interesting juxtaposition, but the bridge does nothing to detract from the serene paths, natural scenery and the Little Lehigh Creek, seen at right, that flows through the length of the parkway.

Interstate 78 is an east-west highway running 144 miles from northeast of Harrisburg through Allentown in Pennsylvania, and western and northern New Jersey to the Holland Tunnel and Lower Manhattan in New York City.

 

It Was November ...

“It was November – the month of crimson sunsets, parting birds, deep, sad hymns of the sea, passionate wind-songs in the pines.”

                     ~ L.M. Montgomery

                          ~ 1874-1942 

The late afternoon of a waning November day paints the scenery around a man and his dog strolling down a path at Lehigh Parkway, Allentown, Pennsylvania, as they are about to walk under the Interstate 78 bridge that drapes above the peaceful parkway in this painterly, HDR image I shot as sunset loomed.

Strollin' On An April Afternoon ...

“Spring won’t let me stay in this house any longer! I must get out and breathe the air deeply again.”

~ Gustav Mahler

This late April afternoon sings of spring as a girl and her dog stroll down a path at Lehigh Parkway, Allentown, Pennsylvania, about to walk under the Interstate 78 bridge that drapes above the peaceful parkway in this HDR image.
