There are other things besides politics…
Aside from writing political pieces, I do have another interest. Landscape photography is one of my favorite hobbies, and there is no doubt that I have taken photos of beautiful areas around Virginia, Maryland, and West Virginia. I figured that you often need to know what else I love doing besides giving my opinion or outlook on politics.
On Sunday, I had the opportunity to head back to one of my favorite places in the area: Harpers Ferry. One thing different from the last time, I actually hiked the Appalachian Trail into Maryland. While it was cold and the trail was deserted for the most part, the photo opportunities were amazing. These photos have been altered slightly for artistic qualities using Photoshop Mobile for iPhone.
Sunday Scenes: Luray
Today, I decided to take a drive away from the suburbs of Northern Virginia to the Shenandoah Valley. I had no agenda, but I just sought the wide open spaces and peace for a change. I ended up in the town of Luray, which is home to the Caverns. Once arriving, I took a walk on the Luray-Hawksbill Trail, which encompasses the town of Luray. Although it was quite hot outside and resulted in a nasty sunburn, the scenery was gorgeous. The mountains in the distance just made the scenery breathtaking. Spring’s beauty is back again.
