Thanks so much, Bob! I grew up nearby and used the park to hike, walk the dogs, mountain bike, etc. as a kid. Now, I've turned the lens on it when I can and definitely find it to be an exciting place to photograph, as you said!

Great shot Mark, I normally would not allow a river shot but the water in this makes up a greater part of the image and it is the right time of day.

Mark VanDyke replied:

I appreciate that, Paul. Sorry for the mix up.

And thank you, Paul, for the feature! I accidently checked the seascape group! This is not necessarily a seascape proper, but this is the fault line where the Piedmont transitions to Coastal, and the Potomac River does spill into Chesapeake Bay not far from here!

I appreciate the feature as well, Linda, in the Awe Factor group!

Thanks, Linda! Yep! Had to get out into the river a touch to grab this vantage point--mostly hopping on rocks to keep my feet dry. That is what makes this shot hard--getting the water levels right to get to where you need to be! I appreciate the good words!

Thank you for sharing this in the Awe Factor group. I don't know where you were standing when you took this shot but I'm guessing your feet got wet? f/v

Powerful yet so peaceful.

Mark VanDyke replied:

I appreciate the good words, Serge! It is a really neat place for it's proximity to Washington DC. So wild, yet surrounded by heavy development; definitely a peaceful place for nature lovers amidst the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

You have shown the power of the water so well.

Mark VanDyke replied:

Thanks, Cindy!

The water movement is amazing! I love all the textures!

Mark VanDyke replied:

Thanks, Jennifer! This was a shot that I wanted for years and was very excited to finally get!
