Description
"All human beings are dream beings. Dreaming ties all men together."
~ Jack Kerouac
~ 1922-1969
The stillness of a late December day standing by a partially frosted Lehigh River at Lehigh Gap is the perfect place for dreaming and reflecting. Always take time to dream!
I captured this high contrast monochrome shot near the Lehigh Gap Bridge, which spans the river in the shadow of the Kittatinny Ridge, also called Blue Mountain.
The Lehigh Gap in Slatington, Pennsylvania, is a crossroads where the Lehigh Gap Nature Center's trails connect two historic trails ~ the Appalachian Trail and the Delaware and Lehigh National Heritage Corridor (D&L Trail).
The Appalachian Trail, a foot path, follows the ridge on both sides of the Lehigh Gap, running 1,245 miles south to Georgia and 930 miles north to Maine. Running from Wilkes-Barre to Bristol, the D&L Trail passes through the Lehigh and Delaware rivers and their canals in Pennsylvania.
The Lehigh Gap Bridge was built in 1930 and rehabilitated in 1984.

Beautifully composed atmospheric scene! Love the Kerouac quote. Kerouac is my Elvis ;) 😉
Tami Quigley replied:
Thanks a bunch Jim! Love your comment too ... I love Kerouac, though not as much as Elvis, but Kerouac and I do share the same March 12 birthday, maybe that's why I like his work so much:)
