“Peace
came as suddenly today as came the storm a day ago.
My
soul was drenched in wind and rain, frozen in fear that fell like snow.
Then
all was still.
Had
someone prayed?
I
do not know.”
~ “After The Storm”

The
peace is palpable as cascading waters flow like silk down the Kittatinny Ridge
on a beautiful spring afternoon. I shot this long exposure capture in late May
at Lehigh Gap along the Delaware and Lehigh National Heritage Corridor (D&L
Trail).
In
the shadow of the Kittatinny 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
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.
