Harpers Ferry, West Virginia

View of the Potomac River at Harpers Ferry. The photo was taken from Jefferson Rock. Jefferson Rock derives it's name from Thomas Jefferson, who stood there on October 25, 1783. He described his first view from the landmark as a scene, "worth a voyage across the Atlantic." Although Jefferson may have observed the fall colors similar to these colors, I doubt if he viewed the steeple or the bridge.
