South of the Chesapeake and Delaware Canal, Delaware and the rest of the Delmarva Peninsula has marshes and tidal rivers, big skies […]
Smoke and Fire near West Grove, Pennsylvania
It is a real pleasure to drive the back roads of Chester County, Pennsylvania. On Sunday, February 23, 2020, I came across what I thought was someone burning brush. I stopped just off the road to photograph the smoke moving through the leafless trees of winter. Another photographer stopped. Like me, he was out shooting […]
