Whisky Drinking on a Lake

Well, no matter what the discourse may happen to be anywhere in the world, it remains a beautiful place. I was fortunate to spend many nights under the stars at Lake Moomaw in Covington, Virginia during two separate trips over the past month. This wonderful lake serves as a fresh water reservoir that is surrounded by mountains in the George Washington National Forest. It is a majestic place that lures one into a particular comfort that only nature can provide. For me, it was the perfect retreat from the city where I quickly settled into the surreal qualities of heavenly light. The only chatter came from the chipmunks that scurried about. The only news was the changing direction of the breeze and the moving ripples on the water. The only exploit came from a half empty whisky bottle that sat beside me. I enjoyed my time away from the sometimes uncomfortable civilized world of the often times discontent, while I willingly allowed the sun to tread on me.

These five images were the bounty from my time in this slice of paradise. They are yet to be titled, but that will come in time. If you get a chance to visit, please tell the chipmunks that I said hello.
