The Gold In Autumn's Pocket ...

Autumn’s gold is showcased in abundant beauty in the early afternoon of a late October day along the Delaware Canal, Easton, Pennsylvania.

I captured this shot after setting off from the Wy-Hit-Tuk Park Trailhead, Easton of the Delaware and Lehigh National Heritage Corridor (D&L Trail).

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.

Wy-Hit-Tuk means “river”" in the Native American language of the Lenape, the American Indians who lived throughout the Delaware River Basin at the time of European contact.
