Many parts of West Virginia peak their fall colors in the first few weeks of October.\u00a0 We’ll be visiting Harper’s Ferry after what would be considered peak season, but that’s okay.\u00a0 The sun will be lower in the sky and that can help accentuate textures and create interesting light and shadows in and around town.\u00a0 This field trip may be a black and white photographer’s bread and butter, so to speak.<\/p>\n

Architecture photographers may find St. Peter’s Roman Catholic Church interesting.\u00a0 The church appears to be open now so feel free to go inside.\u00a0 Landscape photographers may find sweeping vista shots from locations higher up like Jefferson Rock.\u00a0 Those same photographers looking for more of a workout may try for the Maryland Heights trail (accessible via B&O Railroad Bridge) which takes you to a commanding view of the town.\u00a0 The trail takes a few hours to complete, but it can be rewarding.\u00a0 Of course, there’s all the alley ways and nooks and crannies around the downtown area.\u00a0 There are lots of attractions just outside town as well including Piney Run Waterfall at Potoma Wayside Park so consider snooping around the area before you leave for the day.\u00a0 For this field trip, we’ll concentrate around downtown.<\/p>\n
