Gathering Clouds over Spruce Run

Posted by Laurie (New Jersey, United States) on 16 November 2006 in Landscape & Rural and Portfolio.

This shot was taken very late in the afternoon, just before sunset, on the same day as the previous shot. The day provided wild and dramatic skies and windy and sometimes wet conditions along with intemittent sunshine. The park provided some really great locations and opportunities for some really wonderful photos. I grabbed this shot from the car window since the park gates close at dusk and I really wanted this shot but didn't want to get locked in the park.

Spruce Run is a Reservoir, a large man made lake that is used for gathering water to supply the area with drinking water.

*I am slowly moving my archives from my other site here since I am having some trouble with Blogger and broken archives, lack of support, etc. The migration will take some time and if you visit my other blog you will likely see some redundancy.

This photo of the Bucknell Quad is a 2 page feature photo in the Summer 2008 issue of Bucknell Magazine.
