Hilltop House Hotel, Harpers Ferry, WV

Abandoned but beautiful!
The Hilltop House Hotel is controversial as to weather it will be rebuilt or not.
Some believe it's haunted.   Do you see something at the turret window?
Check out the views below!

The Potomac River flows below.  Open the windows and have a peaceful sleep!

High on a hill sets the lonely.....Hilltop House!

Potomac and Shenandoah convergence ~ Harper's Ferry, WV

Along with a Civil War battle converging at Harper's Ferry,
the Potomac and Shenandoah Rivers also have their own convergence
on a continual basis.

The Shenandoah from Bolivar Heights

The Potomac from the old Hill Top Hotel.

Blackwater Falls, WV

Breathtaking!

A gentle hike down to the falls is more than worth it!

Just a few rocks help push the creek down stream.


A cool mist on a hot and humid day.

Tiny Church - Our Lady of the Pines

In the village of Small Run, WV stands 
The Smallest Church in 48 States.
I'm in favor of small Churches and the close knit ties and this Church would surely deliver!

Seating for 12.
As you entered you felt you were in the presence of God.

Friends and Relatives.
The basis for all life.

Christ and his disciples.

See what's going on in the rest of the world:

St. Peters Roman Catholic Church, Harpers Ferry W.V.

No words can adequately describe this. Inspiring.What a climb up these stone steps. Was it worth it? You bet. Between the church and the outstanding view overlooking the merging of the Shenandoah and Potomac Rivers with the surrounding mountains......breathtaking!

The inside of the church was as inspiring as the outside. The climb was well worth it!
Aaaaahhhhhhhhhhh~

Harpers Ferry W.V.

Do you have a favorite sound? Have you ever given it any thought if you had a favorite sound? One my favorite sounds are train whistles. It reminds me of growing up by the tracks. We always lived 'on the other side of the tracks'! These tracks led into a mounain tunnel from Harpers Ferry W. V. to Maryland Heights. What sights!


Cruisin down the river on a Sunday afternoon... Oops it was Saturday but the song didn't fit. There were hundreds of rafters floating down the Shenadoah and Potamac Rivers. Our favorite floaters were the groups with a raft just for their cooler. What a way to spend a Summer day.
Hey up there! There brave climbers scaled the mountain. What a workout that would be. Just watching them made my knees hurt. Brave souls!

Curious

An old bridge that was swept away in a flood years ago still has the supporting walls. Out of the walls nature finds a way of providing us with pleasure and curiosity. If man attempted to plant these trees on the old bridge supports in the middle of the river I'm sure it wouldn't grow but if you step back and let God what greatness can happen....
This flower has had me curious for about three years. I've seen them on the roadside to and from work and wonder often what it is called. Today I discovered this one at a national park all by its lonesome. Do you think I could've uprooted it and give it a new home in my yard? I need to find out about this tall and proud flower. I'm sure it's in the lilly family but my search has begun to plant my own and give it it's proper name.
