Harpers Ferry

I recently had the opportunity to go to Harpers Ferry.  Harpers Ferry, which is located in West Virginia, is a famous/historical town for several reasons. It's where the Potomac and Shenandoah rivers come together; it's a place that was surveyed by George Washington; visited by Thomas Jefferson; one of the few towns that the Appalachian Trail goes directly through; and was where John Brown attempted a raid that ultimately failed, brought about his execution, and was a contributing factor to the Civil War.

I really enjoyed photographing Harpers Ferry.  There was so much to photograph: the rivers, the buildings, the old church, the graveyard, and little shops.  Here is a sampling of my favorites.
