I visited when the trail was first opened to the public a year and a half ago. I took fisheye lens photos on that hike, which you can see here.
The bright blue sky and wispy clouds were the perfect backdrop for this day's photography of the cliffs.
The Susquehanna was a bright blue as well.
Some of the trees were just beginning to leaf out.
There are picturesque old ruins from mining company buildings along the railroad tracks.
These arches lend an almost classical feel to the landscape.
A reminder that nature is not always benign:
But it can be magnificent I saw a bald eagle swoop down, pluck a fish from the river, and fly off with its meal. I had just enough presence of mind to get a few quick iPhone shots. In person the eagle's head and tail feathers gleamed, and it moved with incredible speed and grace:
I chose this image as my inspiration for week 42 of my ongoing self-directed project, 52 Ways to Look at the River.

I've added a "52 Weeks" tab at the top header so you can track the project back to the beginning.
As always, thanks for reading and commenting.
