Glen Falls Grotto |
|
Perhaps one of the most stunning falls in Virginia ... also one of the least known because it's on the private property of a delightful southern lady, At the bottom is a crystal-clear pool with rocks covered in brilliant green moss. |

Lone Tree on Foggy Morning Oval |
|
Near historic Fincastle, Va., one early fall morning. The shrouded yet stately tree stands sentinel beside a country lane. In the image, as in life itself, we see just enough of the path to inspire us ... but we never quite make out the end of the road. The image is ghosted on the mat. |
