STONE, RIVER and CANAL

There are a number of major stone quarries in Eastern Pennsylvania. The gorgeous stone that was used to construct the original buildings on the Princeton University Campus (and our house) was quarried from Langhorne Pennsylvania, just down the road from this spot.

To shoot this photo, I parked across the road (PA Route 32, "The River Road," in front of the magnificent Cuttalossa Falls in Solebury. I'm standing along the guard rail, just above the banks of the Delaware Canal (about 15 miles north of here--the tow path continues). The red store, and the pallettes of stone sit between the Delaware River (far left) and the Canal. The red bridge in the background leads to the Quarry Store.
----
I found this view to be remarkable.
