A very nice barn on a very nice farm in Greenbrier County, West Virginia. This was taken on a very cold morning this past October near the town of Lewisburg.

The bullet holes in the windows were a nice finishing touch for this late October scene in the hills of Greenbrier County, WV.

Blue Sulphur Springs Pavilion
This pavilion built in 1834 is all that’s left of a formerly large resort, located in the middle of a farm field in the hills of West Virginia. The site originally included a sizable hotel and several other buildings, but was burned in 1864 by Union troops during the Civil War and never rebuilt. The pavilion, which housed a mineral spring touted for its medicinal qualities, was all that survived the fire, and is now on the National Register of Historic Places.
An 1857 sketch of the original resort layout follows as well, note the pavilion located on the left side of the drawing.

Sifting through images from a photo expedition a few weeks back. I’m missing autumn already.
This image was made on a dreary day along a lonely country road in Fayette County, West Virginia.

Another shot of Laurel Creek in Fayette County, WV, from a few weeks ago. This stream is part of the New River Gorge National River.

Laurel Creek #1
Through the years I’ve spent countless happy hours fishing for trout in the mountain streams of West Virginia, but these days I’m more apt to be armed with a camera than a fishing pole when I’m in the area. This particular stream is fed by cold water from abandoned upstream coal mines, but instead of being the ecological disaster that you might expect it is in fact an excellent brown trout fishery.

Glade Creek
This photograph was made a couple weeks ago along Glade Creek in New River Gorge National River, Raleigh County, WV. I’d like to get back to this location when there’s a better flow of water.
As I was setting this shot up I watched what I believe was a fisher darting among the rocks, a first for me. No photos though, he was too quick!
