I have but one photo today, and it is that of a real train. This is an image of the Rockville Bridge I took last summer. It was late in the day, the lighting and the sky was just perfect and along came a train...
BUT, if you wanna see some really great pictures, then read the two following paragraphs and then click on the link that follows...
Having been interested in highways since I was a young child, I first travelled to the Juniata River Valley in central Pennsylvania in 1975 to see a new highway under construction. I noticed it on the official 1974 Pennsylvania state highway map. But when I arrived there, it wasn't the highway that got my attention. It was the scenery. I thought it was the most beautiful place on earth, and every year since then, I have returned. The area became the inspiration for my model railroad which depicts the Middle Division of the Pennsylvania Railroad, which as I would learn followed the Juniata River as it headed west from Harrisburg to Altoona, Pittsburgh, and points west.
As the years went by, I began to visit more and more of the area, eventually travelling on roads such as Routes 35 and 75. I explored the Shade and Path Valleys, and was struck by their beauty. Over the past few years, I have made many trips to photograph the beautiful farm valleys and mountain ridges of the region. The video you are about to see is a compilation of my best photographs from those journeys. The first three images after the map show the road (US Routes 22/322) that I first ventured out there to see. The rest are images from throughout the region. Please enjoy your visit to the land I love!
