This is a widow (and shutter) in the top of the shot tower at Shot Tower State Park. The park is located near the intersection of I-77 and the New River Trail south of Wytheville, Va.
Up here, when it's frozen like this, there are no bad photographs. It is awesome at every angle... even laying down on your back looking up:)

After a day of hiking and biking in Hungry Mother State Park, I made a stop near the entrance to Hungry Mother for a little night photography.
A vehicle drove by during my exposure, casting a little light on the foreground and on the far side of the lake.
November 2021 High Bridge Trail is 31 miles long and ideally suited for hiking, bicycling and horseback riding. Once a rail bed, the trail is wide, level and generally flat. Its finely crushed limestone surface and dimensions make it easy to enjoy. The park’s centerpiece is the majestic High Bridge, which is more than 2,400 feet long and 125 feet above the Appomattox River. It is the longest recreational bridge in Virginia and among the longest in the United States.

Chippokes Plantation is one of the oldest continually farmed plantations in the country. A working farm since 1619, the park offers modern recreational activities and a glimpse of life in a bygone era. Visitors tour the historic area with its antebellum mansion and outbuildings, stroll through formal gardens, and view antique equipment at the Chippokes Farm and Forestry Museum. The River House was built on the property in the 1830 but has never been restored by the owners or the state. Black Vultures have taken up residence here.
Dutchman's Breeches that is.... I was lucky enough to catch these beauties with some wonderful backlighting. #springishere

Another photo from an evening at Claytor Lake State Park in Virginia. I really can't get enough of these flowering dogwood trees.!
