Autumn Meadow, Valley Forge National Park

Posted by Russ Devan (New Hanover, United States) on 1 October 2009 in Landscape & Rural and Portfolio.

After a meeting on Wednesday, I took a little detour through Valley Forge before heading home.

"The Master in the art of living makes little distinction between his work and his play, his labor and his leisure, his mind and his body, his education and his recreation, his love and his religion. He hardly knows which is which. He simply pursues his vision of excellence in whatever he does, leaving others to decide whether he is working or playing. To him he is always doing both."

such a great place to photograph (I am running through some images from a visit I took in mid-Sep)....You caught a perfect time of day and the lighting is just fabulous - those clouds are so dramatic as well.....great composition and mix of colors......

Gorgeous. I just wish fall was a little longer. It is over too fast.

Hard to imagine the terrible suffering that was experienced here at our nation's birth. A beautiful and poetic image, Russ - well done.
