Stalagtites and Stalagmites at the Luray Caverns

The Luray Caverns are a natural wonder that has been in the making for the past 400 million years. That is 400 million years..yes it is no typo. It is just amazing to walk inside the cavern .... just mind boggling. This is my 2nd visit there. The photograph shown is that of a stalagtite.

Autumn shades of a sugar maple in the valley.
 

Harry Potter's forest

 Does'nt it remind you of the forest outside Harry Potter's alma mater. Well this is a shot I took while returning back from the White Oak Canyon trail. The heady climb was spaced with shots like this to let the body take a break. The climb up was really something.
 

Mr & Mrs Yellow Spider

 Meet the homely couple nestling in the branches of a sapling in the Shenandoah valley. Canon thanks for helping me out with this shot here.
 

The Waterfall

The waterfall I was talking about earlier. The view from where I took this shot is a sheer cliff with a huge drop. I could feel the blood tingle in my legs as I stood there taking this snap.

Cascading stream

This stream on the White Oak Canyon trail starts as a little trickle and then becomes a roaring waterfall downstream.

Meet Ms Kate Caterpillar

Meet Ms Kate Caterpillar. She was found frolicking under the autumn sun of a Shenandoah Valley overlook somewhere beyond the Thornton gap. The lady was dressed in an autumn maroon, black scarf and stilleto heels.

Late autumn in the Shenandoah Valley

Late autumn in the Shenandoah valley. Most of the trees have shed their leaves at the higher altitudes, but they still remain gorgeously colorful at the foot of the mountain range.
