Industrial Quarter, Bethlehem, Pa.
Historic Moravian Bethlehem, Pa. is proud to have two national historic landmarks. One is the 1762 Waterworks located in the Colonial Industrial Quarter. The Waterworks is America’s first pumped municipal water system. The Industrial Quarter is situated alongside the Monocacy Creek and was at one time home to a tannery, blacksmith, dye house, mill, and springhouse. Tours are offered by appointment but the grounds are open for visitors to view the historic architecture and imagine what life was like back when hard work was conducted in these buildings by the Moravians to support the growing community.

I was having fun on a cold, sunny, snow-flurrying day in Jim Thorpe, Pa. with the Lensbaby fisheye optic. Catching my shadow in the image was an unexpected surprise!

Many of us have had a tough time in 2011 and are looking forward to the start of a new year. It’s a chance to begin fresh, with an optimistic outlook, and high hopes for good things to come. I’m thinking that the sunbeams I saw today are an indication that we are being blessed with light and hope as we end one year and begin a new one. Best wishes to all for a happy, healthy and prosperous new year.

I’m not much for getting up super early to go out and photograph the sunrise. I’m not much for getting up super early to go out and photograph anything for that matter! Just ask me how many times I’ve made it to a dog show in time to hear the National Anthem at the start of the day! Not very often! 🙂 [Oh and I LOVE hearing the dogs howl to the National Anthem, too!] Well, today I was up bright and early before sunrise and saw that it was a bit foggy/misty so for whatever reason, I was inspired to drive over to the lake to see if there were any images to be made. I ended up spending over an hour there, photographing sunrise, mist, dew on leaves, water reflections, etc. It turned out to be a fun, albeit chilly, early morning adventure. Here’s one image of the shoreline with a rowboat, some mist on the water, and the last of Fall color in the leaves.
