“My life is shaped by the urgent need to wander and observe, and my camera is my passport.”

The historic town of Phillipsburg, New Jersey can be seen behind the historic Northampton Street Bridge, commonly called the Free Bridge, which spans the Delaware River as sunset looms on a beautiful mid-May evening in this painterly, HDR image.
The iconic Jimmy’s Doggie Stand can be seen to the left of the bridge.
The Free Bridge that spans the two states was completed in 1896 and survived massive
flooding from Hurricane Diane in 1955. It underwent a thorough restoration in 1990 and is one of my very favorite places to photograph.
Phillipsburg was established March 8, 1861 and was named for William Phillips, an early settler of the area.
The Free Bridge can also be seen from across the river at Delaware Canal State Park, Easton, Pennsylvania near the Forks of the Delaware Trailhead of the Delaware and Lehigh National Heritage Corridor (D&L Trail).
Running from Wilkes-Barre to Bristol, the D&L Trail passes through the Lehigh and Delaware rivers and their canals in Pennsylvania.
