Monday Morning Movie–Rockport

If Video is not shown then see it here: Before the Storm from Dmitrii on Vimeo.

I took photos in the movie and couple short time lapse movies last Sunday, one day before big storm Sandy came to the East coast. We were there during sunrise hours and the weather was actually not that bad. Wind was picking up a bit and clouds were moving in, but there were no rain at that point. Later in the morning we drove down to Boston and caught our planes down south, probably some of the few last planes that took off from Boston for the next two days.

Friday Mystery Photo

I know it is not really fair to put photo like this and expect anyone to know where it is. It is practically impossible to know where it could be. Pretty much anywhere in the world. But, who knows, maybe we have some Japanese Maple tree experts here who have visited every place on earth and knows each one of those pretty trees.

Early Fall in DC

With a few more weeks of winter left on the calendar I want to share some green colors we are going to see in just about two plus month from now. Back in early fall I was walking around the National Mall and saw this view off Washington Memorial with some early leaves on the ground. I was hoping to get back to the same spot a few weeks later and see how it looked with those trees getting some colors, but it never happened. Maybe some other year.

Hiking to Lin Cove

This is a Lin Cove bridge, obviously not the Lin Cove Viaduct bridge, but it goes over Lin Cove creek on the Lin Cove trail. If you want to go above the Viaduct you’d have to cross this little bridge.

Grey Outside? Not Here!

So it is finally pretty much grey, cold and not super exciting outdoors. All leaves are gone, colors disappeared and most places probably haven’t seen any snow yet to mix in some colors. But just month or so ago we had very different picture, just like the one we have here.

This is Lin Cove Viaduct, part of the Blue Ridge Parkway. This spot is kind of in the middle of the Viaduct, not the most common or known by many folks, in fact I didn’t know about it till this Fall and I hiked around there at least half dozen times over last ten years. I wonder if any of these bushes bloom in the Spring, I need to go and check it out next April/May. Anyone have any shots of it in the Spring?
