I had no idea what I would find when I went to Valley Forge for the first time. This felt like a moment of discovery for some reason. The sun was in a really bad position so I'm happy that these pictures are usable. I used the trees to block as much of the sun as possible.I'm trying to rest my bad back again and I hope to be back in full blogging mode by tomorrow.

Fantastic shots! Don't you *love* when the sun doesn't cooperate?
I hope you're feeling better soon!

It's like you can almost see all those militia people there. Wonderful photos my friend :)
My first thought when I saw the top photo was that it reminded me of the Dunker church on the battlefield at Antietam. I was there some years ago, and the small white wooden church on its own looked a little like it. Are the buildings associated with the history of Valley Forge?
A nice, peaceful looking scene.
A lovely country scene James...And the photo is well captured and I do hope your bad back gets well soon. Have a restful day.
They look great to me.
Those are beautiful shots!
Great photos. I like the trees framing the picture. Really pretty!
Wonderful view. I like the trees as a frame.
Sorry your back is acting up, feel better soon.
Sunny :)
I love these kinds of shots through tree branches, etc. I took a lot of them this summer while visiting the eastern Sierra and eastern Yosemite! These are dynamite and I hope you feel like dynamite very soon! Take care...
I like the composition of the photo. Excellent work on using the tree to block the sun. Do you have a filter for your camera?
Hi James, You photos and word are as beautiful and moving as always.
No need to reply, James, its more important to rest your back.
Peace be with :D

What a beautiful place.....great shot!!
Your pictures are so peaceful! They make me think of the paintings of an american painter, I do' remember his name, but he died not so long ago. The same quality of light, rural places, quiet scenes..
Please take a rest! You must remember that Europe is waiting for you!
A blessed scenery, it's really beautiful!
Take care okay!

I had two thoughts when I saw the first photo: That's nicely framed and it sure looks like Valley Forge.
For the first time in my life I was right the first time!
Get well!
Hi James,
Excellent. Lovely landscape!
Best regards
Asta
What a splendid LANDSCAPE.
My heart is thrown open.
Thank you.
Take care.
What a lovely view, the sun can do some wild things at times but always intersting to see how we manage to find a way.
Ah, the first picture has enormous charm! Wonderful!
