Golden light on the Aqueduct |
Old Sycamore |
I was the only person around. I parked my car at the boat ramp, which is along a separate road from the aqueduct, and I enjoyed the peace and beauty of the river on a January afternoon. The water was still, the skies were filled with altocumulus clouds (I had to Google that one), and the woods were filled with birds. On my walk I saw woodpeckers, crows, chickadees, juncos, turkey vultures, sparrows, a golden crowned kinglet, and Eastern bluebirds. They were flitting around the trees and along the iron railings of the aqueduct. I got pix of a few, but they are really too tiny to share. Next time I go, I'll take my big camera with the 300mm zoom.

I walked across the aqueduct and down the trail for a while, then doubled back. I noticed a sign for a lock house, .71 miles down the trail in the opposite direction, so I am saving that walk for another day, when someone can come along with me. I'll be sure to bring along my binoculars, too, for all the great birdwatching!

I love your photo of the builders' stone on the Monocacy Aqueduct. I am a volunteer historian for the C&O Canal NHP and would love to use it for my own FB timeline and/or other C&O internet sites. I would be happy to include a credit line that you provide.
