Panning For Gold ...

“Taking pictures is like panning for gold. You do it again and again, and sometimes you find a nugget.”

     ~ Raghubir Singh

      ~Indian photographer

       ~ 1942-1999

The early evening sun is panning for gold as glints of the golden hour whirl through the waters of the Jordan Creek spilling over Wehr’s Dam in this painterly, HDR image I shot on the first day of spring, March 20, 2022.

The Jordan Creek continues to then flow beneath beneath Wehr’s Covered Bridge at Covered Bridge Park, Orefield, Pennsylvania.

The dam, built in 1904, is next to Wehr’s Covered Bridge, which dates back to 1841.

The boardwalk of the Jordan Creek Greenway can be seen behind the dam.

Rainspotting At Wehr's Dam ...

“Into each life some rain must fall.”

     ~ Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

        ~ 1807-1882

I spotted this Great Blue Heron, looking amazingly small standing in the Jordan Creek at Wehr’s Dam, as an early evening rain falls on June 21, 2021 – the first full day of summer – at Covered Bridge Park, Orefield, Pennsylvania.
