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.
