but when a location like this sits less than 5 miles from home, you gotta take a photo!!!

Now that is an image that begs to be printed very large! It would also make a lovely painting too.

Nice!! Like a fairy tale. The underside of the foreground bridge arch looks a tad on the bright side to me.

Thanks for your comments everyone. Not much of a window of opportunity here, I passed the house on the weekend and the Virgina Creeper has shed its leaves already!
I need a nice cold misty shot next year!!

You could shoot this one the same day every month, or at least once in every season, to show the changes. Since it is so close to you, I could see a nice series developing. I have seen this image before but yours here makes the scene look quite magical. Nicely done!

I'm glad that you did this justice with this terrific image.

Because I probably will never get there to shoot it myself.

thanks Lee, I'll keep trying until I get something different from everyone else!

Seasonal study is an excellent idea Lauren, and if I get seasonal weather ( a bit of snow during the winter, and some sun during the summer!) then I'll definitely try capturing the changing seasons here! Thanks!!

I will look forward to seeing your seasonal shots!
