Moonrise at the Seneca Breaks: This image was taken with a shutter speed of 32 seconds just as the sun had set and the moon was rising through the trees on the Maryland shoreline. I had set up my camera on the Virginia shoreline just next to an area of the Potomac called the Seneca Breaks. This image speaks to me on so many different levels because it could be a site on almost any large river across America. The small white building on the right side of the photograph gives me a feeling of a former period of time when someone might have actually lived in a place like this. I also have to ask myself if Henry David Thoreau had been a resident of northern Virginia instead of Massachusetts might he have selected this site for his cabin instead of Walden Pond.
