Some things just aren't what they seem!
This last trip was fun for a number of reasons, the first being, of course playing, with family. But I did have a chance to shot and get on the road doing what I love to do. Free style photography. Simply put you get in the car early in the morning and drive to places where you expect to be able to make an image or three. Sort of like a tourist, but with an eye towards something that might sell at some point down the road. Looking for something worthwhile that could lead someone to actually believe that I was working.
Lancaster County in Pennsylvania is always a great area to make photographs. Normally there is always something going on. Even the winter settings seem to be much more meaningful when one strikes the eye. Fair Hill, Maryland is quite the horse country. Farms are all styled so that four legged critters get their stalls cleaned before most homes. This is the first of two covered bridges I found at Fair Hill.
Even with the dreary browns, greys and black of the woods at this time of year, the splash of color and the reflections in the water make this image very pleasing. Particularly if you know that you have a steaming cup of Pike Place and a fireplace to warm your innards and soul after a morning walk.
The second bridge was the Jackson Mill Bridge built in 1878 and well into the center of Lancaster County, PA.
After many mile and hard looking I finally found a few spots in Pennsylvania famous only for a condition we males often experience.
But I put the pedal to the metal and soldiered on, looking for images to be made. My mind full with new possibilities. And then it happened. I finally got lucky!
Only a few more miles of country roads ridden hard..... and.............................
After those experiences, I lit up a fine cigar and relaxed on my trip back home.
Savoring the experiences of the day.
