Shenandoah Valley, Rain and Shine

I went through the Shenandoah National Park on October 25 and 26, with the 25th rainy and foggy in the mountains and the 26th sunny and clear. I enjoyed both days and the park was beautiful both times. The lightening-struck tree above is the same place on the two days and, I think, gives some idea as to how different the same places were on the two contrasting days. In some ways I enjoyed the rainy day more. The limited visibility forced me to concentrate on the small scale, the close-up, because the vistas were shrouded in fog. Of the two photos above, I prefer the foggy day shot.

There were still some wonderful, grander views on the 26th when it was clear.

So you can look at the photos above and see for yourself. For me, both days were beautiful and I find the contrast in the two sets of pictures to be fun. Don't be afraid of a rainy day!
