Warren County, Virginia. Shenandoah River Raymond R. "Andy" Guest Jr. State Park is on the South Fork of the Shenandoah River and has more than 1,600 acres along 5.2 miles of shoreline. The park opened in June 1999. In addition to the meandering river frontage, the park offers scenic views of Massanutten Mountain to the west and Shenandoah National Park to the east. With more than 25 miles of trails, the park has plenty of options for hiking, biking, horseback riding and adventure.

CHECK IT OUT BIG & ON BLACK

 

More from my foggy morning at Leesylvania Park :)

 

I loved the details and textures in this sign next to the curving road and felt that this was the best way to incorporate it into the overall theme of the image.

 

I originally shot two versions of this image. This one and another one at f/4 to really take the distant road out of the foreground, but upon looking at both of them, I felt that you really needed some more sharpness front to back - so here you go.

 

If anyone is curious about the alternate version of this exposure, let me know and I will post it up as well.

 

As always, your thoughts and comments are appreciated :)

 

Thanks for viewing!

My Wife found this sign in a grassy knoll between the playground and the road leading down to the pier and boat ramp. This goes way back. There used to be a "Tourinns Motor Court" at the Kiptopeke Ferry Terminal for those that needed to spend the night awaiting the first ferry in the morning to take them to Little Creek. The playground area is on the site where this motor court once stood. The driveway is still there. This sign is well hidden and cannot be seen from either the playground or the road (which used to be the old US 13) going down to the pier area.
