Today is a photo share from our recent trip to Harper’s Ferry National Historical Park<\/a>\u00a0in Harpers Ferry, WV. \u00a0We’ve lived in Purcellville almost 4 years and I can’t believe this was our first time venturing out to Harper’s Ferry. \u00a0It’s really very close (only maybe 35 minutes driving) and there is SO much to do as a family. \u00a0I imagine this will become a place we visit several times a year from here forward. \u00a0The kids have begun the Junior Ranger program and I would love to visit on a cooler day to take time to just enjoy all the photographic opportunities. \u00a0I’ll be sharing more pictures from our trip over the next couple weeks.<\/p>\n

Today I wanted to start with a quick share of three images I took of the very prominent Church that overlooks the historic part of town. \u00a0This is St. Peter’s Roman Catholic Church in Harpers Ferry, WV<\/a>. \u00a0The sun was directly behind the church so I had fun playing a bit with trying to capture a sunburst through the nearby trees.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The church was closed when we visited but there were signs outside advertising ghost tours!<\/p>\n

Here’s another view of the church with the sunburst – this time standing much too close to get straight verticals… My real estate photographer friends will just have to suspend the need for straight verticals… I like the shot regardless of the leaning… lol<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

And finally a shot from the stairs leading to Jefferson’s Rock – just behind the church. \u00a0I love how the trees frame the steeple.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I wanted to get a shot with the whole church but it was just way too crowded and I would have been blocking the stairs if I waited any longer (not to mention the rest of my family was getting a little impatient with my endless snapping away…). \u00a0A good reason to go back I suppose! \u00a0I just clicked “like” on their facebook page<\/a> – looks like a TON of great family-friendly, scout-friendly, and just plain photo-friendly opportunities to look forward to!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
