Spent the weekend exploring - taking in all the colors from this years foliage!
Wildwood Park - Bridgewater, VA Riverwalk - Bridgewater, VA Crescent Rock Overlook - Shenandoah National Park, VA It's amazing being able to live now in the Valley during the peak of the fall foliage! The whole area is covered in colors right now. I drove up to Ravens Roost Overlook to capture the overlook at sunrise. Since it is on the western side of the parkway, all the photographers were at other overlooks. So I had this one all to myself!
2024 Virginia Fall Foliage Blue Ridge Parkway Ravens Roost Overlook It's not often you get to see a comet that will not appear again for another 80,000 years. More so truly a once in a life time experience. I happened to be in Shenandoah during the time it was passing through and captured it next to the Milky Way. I hadn't realized I captured it until after I had taken the photo. It was an awesome experience!
Information on Comet Tsuchinshan-ATLAS Shenandoah National Park A few years ago I started to see some amazing photos of the Norther Lights popping up from a photographer in Virginia. The more I looked into I learned that occasionally they do show up across the state. This past week there was a solar storm that caused the Northern Lights to be seen in just about every US state. So I took the opportunity to drive up to Shenandoah National park to try and snag a few photos. It was truly one of the most remarkable sites I've ever witnessed.
