Topic: River pic...

This picture...

... will soon be used in three different publications.  A brochure for a charity that I support, a web-site promoting environmental stewardship for the Shenandoah River, and a tourist bureau book for Front Royal, VA (where the picture was taken). 

Pretty cool. 

I was offered money for it, but I only requested photo credit.  Given that these are charities that I support financially, it seemed a bit odd to ask for some of the money back.  Well not the tourist bureau book, but they're a non-profit enterprise as well and money's super tight for nearly all the non-profits.

You did it!  Good job!  smile  BEAUTIFUL Picture!  smile  All I could think about while taking the pictures of the hills was, "Man I bet this would look awesome in the fall".  Quite some beautiful country there for certain.

Art and beauty are in the eyes of the beholder.
What constitutes excellent music is in the ears of the listener.

Beautiful photograph. That was taken during the summer? The color of the leaves is magnificent. I love to see it in the Fall.
