Westbound on the Pennsylvania Turnpike.

Fall colors on northbound Interstate 176.

Start to the climb up the south face of Blue Mountain on PA 183.

Gordon Nagle Trail goes from Cressona to Pottsville.

Why would one drive to Pottsville? To join the Molly Maguires? To research John O’Hara?

To dine at the Pottsville Club? (You’re too late, it’s closed.)

Or maybe to get some brew at Yuengling’s Brewery (America’s oldest)?

The last two photos were not taken on my most recent visit to Pottsville. The above photo makes me think that a fall version of Yuengling’s resting at the base of Sharp Mountain would work well.

It’s still fall, but don’t tell these trees.

Giant Ginkgo tree.

The historic Barclay on North Church Street lends its name to the grounds which are located on its southern side, just to the right of this view.

Do you believe this place of beauty, serenity, and history is worth saving? If your answer is yes, then please get involved. Read the flyer, go to www.SaveTheBarclayGrounds.org , sign the petition, and find out what you can do to help.

Mausoleum with no name on Franconia Drive. Is it a sample? I would consider being caught dead in this place.

Frank Lloyd Wright’s Beth Sholom Synagogue in Elkins Park, PA.

This roof looks like it would leak, and it does (a Frank Lloyd Wright signature).

2011 Iron Hill Twilight Criterium

Taking pictures of a bike race in twilight conditions is not the easiest thing to do. Essentially, I try not to get killed.

Some bike race “fans” watch from the roof of Mas Mexicali Cantina.

Fireworks

July 2010.

These photos are from last year and represent my first serious attempt at photographing fireworks. Hopefully I learned of few things. Sometime I’ll try again.
