Evening Reflections

Canaan Valley National Wildlife Refuge, Tucker County, West Virginia. I drove to Canaan Valley the day before the Potomac Highlands photography workshop (Randall Sanger Photography) and was rewarded by being able to accompany workshop leaders Randy Sanger and Todd Williams the evening before to scout a possible site for the workshop. Sunset that evening was the most colorful sunset or sunrise of the week (below), although it came many minutes after this shot. The refuge was created in 1994 with just 86 acres; now it has nearly 17,000 acres, nearly half of them wetlands -- the largest wetlands complex in West Virginia.

 

I still have several photos from the September workshop that I've not posted, but I'm about to set out for another workshop (this photo has been loaded, ready to open, for ages -- I see that I put the photo in the comment space three months ago). I enjoy going out with other photographers, and the workshops get me to areas I might not visit on my own -- and force me to get up for sunrise!
