West Virginia

Having lived in Virginia for 2 years, a trip to West Virginia was always on the cards ... started off my road trip with a quick day trip to the state ... The song "Country Roads" kept playing at the back of my mind throughout the journey ...

Weather was kind enough ... Spots of rain, but it stayed clear while we were ouotdoors ...
One of the main attractions at the park we visited ... Sandstone Falls ...

The Grand View ... A horseshoe-like bend on the Shenendoah river that looks simply beautiful from this elevation and angle ...

By "we" above, I meant me, SR and his wife GS ... SR was my batchmate at Darden, and both SR and GS are BITSians ... The snap below was taken at the largest single span bridge ever built ... Had a lot of history associated with it, but I forget most of it at the time of writing this blog entry ...

SR with his brand new $900 Canon Rebel ... He's quite serious about photography, with landscapes and sceneries taking top priority over people, who more often than not are simply in the way! ... But you have to give it to him - the outcomes are quite outstanding ...

At the sandstone falls ... Weather was pretty warm and the water looked quite inviting ...
