Colorful sunrise colors along this pretty section of the Potomac River.

Almost dark and almost a full Sturgeon Moon. The moon rising on the Potomac River two days before a Super Full Moon. Fort Washington is across the river. This was taken on the Mount Vernon Memorial Parkway at Fort Hunt. #NPS #MountVernonMemorialParkway #moon #SturgeonMoon

Colorful clouds ruled the sky for a little while in the early sunrise sky over the Potomac River.

Certainly a pretty time in the day (at the start).

The bluff in Freestone Point overlooks the Potomac River in Leesylvania State Park. It was used by the Confederacy to blockade Washington D.C. during the Civil War. The top of the bluff is on Lee's Woods Trail. Freestone Point is named for the free limestone the colonist would get here. The trail is probably named after Judge Lee or Senator Harry (Light Horse) Lee who resided there. This shot was taken from the Freestone Point Pier. #LeesylvaniaStatePark #Virginia #PotomacRiver #FreestonePoint

Pretty morning reflected along this pretty river ;)

A nice location for taking photos along the Potomac River ... and with the added bonus of some brief color in the morning clouds.

Taken below Great Falls along the river.

Clouds rolling past the Potomac River.

Here is a stitch of two captures taken with the 17mm to get a wider view of this area below the main falls at Great Falls, Maryland on the Potomac River.

It was a pretty morning light wise ... but very warm and humid even at 6:15 in the morning.

Stitched captures of this pretty area (3 images at 10mm on the Canon 60D). Each captured at 1.6 seconds to smooth out the reflection just a little more.

Pretty rocks and colors reflected along the Potomac River in Maryland.

Rocky formations along the Potomac River in between Maryland and Virginia.

Sunset usually leaves a beautiful scene along the Potomac river. But finding a good foreground to go with the scene is not easy. Thanks for these rocks serving the purpose. Happy Thanksgiving!

taken at the same time as the previous b&w post

the map says VA but this is on the MD side of the river

The long exposure on the light night flow looks like thick fog there ... Fog Flow :)

Clouds come in over the calm river.
