Thanksgiving - 2014

Shenandoah National Park, Virginia

Wishing everyone a peaceful and enjoyable Thanksgiving.

We are taking a couple of days off over Thanksgiving and will resume our regular schedule on Monday, December 1st.

Snead barn

Shenandoah National Park, Virginia

The Snead Farm was privately owned until the 1950s. The property is now part of Shenandoah National Park. The barn and root cellar still stand, and the foundations of the house are nearby.

Clover Hill Village - Appomattox County, Virginia 

The Appomattox County Historical Society owns and operates Clover Hill Village. Various buildings and farming implements recreate rural life from before the Civil War into the early years of the 20th century. Even though the Village is now closed for the season, the grounds are open all year and I spent an afternoon there last week taking pictures. I had the place to myself.

More to come over the next few weeks. Have a safe and enjoyable weekend, and thanks for reading Photography In Place.

Dillwyn, Virginia 

Last week I spent several days in the Appomattox, Virginia area. From my home base in the travel trailer I photographed in the Appomattox Court House National Park, the reconstructed Clover Hill Village, Pamplin City which is one of Virginia's Lost Communities and the Buckingham Branch Railroad headquarters in the town of Dillwyn. It will take me a while to process and edit the photos from this trip, but I thought I would share a few this week just to make a break from all the landscape/nature subjects that I have been posting recently.
