Willow in the West Virginia Hills

This crooked old tree is near the Smokehole Gorge in Pendleton County, W. Va. It’s right behind an old farmhouse that my caving club has used as a field house for many years, about a mile up a very rough gravel lane from the South Branch of the Potomac. All 4 of these slides were taken with my TL-120-1 on Provia 100.

Hillside Shack

Not really a shack, but a storage shed, very close to the willow tree above.  Late afternoon in the fall.

Neptune Fountain

In my opinion, Washington’s most impressive fountain.  Officially called “The Court of Neptune”, it is in front of the Library of Congress’ Thomas Jefferson Building, facing the U.S. Capitol.  The bronzes were sculpted by Roland Hinton Perry, and carvings on the masonry of the grotto were done by Albert Weinert.  Perry was inspired by the Trevi Fountain in Rome.  It was finished in 1898, shortly after the Jefferson Building opened.
