Inlet Early Winter

Inlet Early Winter

Uploaded: November 10, 2009

Description


----
The Delaware, at the river's bend just south of New Hope, Pennsylvania. Late December, 2008. There was more chop that day than I've ever seen at this point where the old Water Works was situated. Today the abandoned factories have been converted to luxury condos. What an amazing view they offer!
------
Not sure if I ever submitted this one, but it remains one of my favorite shots of the beautiful Delaware.
