"When words
become unclear, I shall focus with photographs. When images become inadequate,
I shall be content with silence.”
~ Ansel Adams
~ 1902-1984
A still and silent, majestic beauty echoes on an early
August evening as I looked up to see a sliver of the moon peeking down on a
portion of the Kittatinny Ridge, also called Blue Mountain, at Lehigh Gap in
this high contrast monochrome shot.
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 Delaware and Lehigh Heritage Corridor
Trail (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.
