My family and I spend the evening Saturday before Memorial Day in historic Harper's Ferry. We got there a little late (sun was setting for some of the photos) for what we'd planned (Ghost Hunt), but we decided to make the best of it. Next time, I promise a better write-up and more photos!
My childhood friend, and photographer, Mark Fordyce made the excursion to Bridge Day in Fayetteville - at the New River Gorge Bridge last week. Here are a few of his photos.
Check out Mark's facebook page. If you want to get into photography or just brush up your skills, he holds regular Photography Classes. Just ask!
