This page has my most recent photos, in this case, a selection of highlights from the last 3 months as well as older photos that I have worked on recently, typically ones that I've completed for the first time or ones that I overhauled or re-edited.

Top 50 favorite photos I've taken, subject to change as often and as quickly as the weather in the WV Highlands. (If you don't like it, wait ten minutes.) *Last updated 12/29/2024

Of the small sample size of photos I've had printed to sell, these are the best selling ones. Most are older as I haven't had too many of my newer photos printed yet. (You can change that if you see something you like...)

Kind of a loose, broad range of area covered, most of these photos are from Kumbrabow State Forest (most from one single trip too), while the rest are from outside Valley Falls State Park, Holly River State Park and vicinity, Cathedral State Park, a few locations in Barbour County, including Teter Creek Lake, and finally from Deckers Creek outside Morgantown.

Photos from the Smoke Hole area of Pendleton and Grant Counties, Seneca Rocks and other rock outcroppings, Germany Valley, and a few scattered around the general area

Images mostly taken between Parsons, WV and Dryfork, WV, in and near the Otter Creek Wilderness, along Dryfork and its tributaries (Red Run, Elklick Run), and also in Fernow Experimental Forest.

Photos from Spruce Knob, Spruce Knob Lake, and areas found at the base of and on the way up to Spruce Knob. Included in that area is Gandy Creek and the Dispersed Camping Area along with some tributaries, and the Sinks of Gandy. Also included are photos from a tributary to Seneca Creek at the foot of the mountain.

All of these photos were taken somewhere near / in between Durbin, WV and Edray, WV. Locations include tributaries to the East Fork of the Greenbrier River, Countryside near Clover Lick, the Edray Barn, Green Bank Telescope, and Cass Scenic Railroad State Park.

With roughly 12 waterfalls in the park, plenty of overlooks that face West, and many great trails, this is one of the best and most famous state parks in the state. Also shown on this page are photos from Backbone Mountain. Locations include Big Run, Olson Tower, Red Run, Canaan Loop Road, Table Rock Trail, and Swallow Falls State Park in Maryland.

Shots from the Highland Scenic Highway--mostly from the Williams River Overlook--Cranberry Glades Botanical Area, nearby Falls of Hills Creek, and two of the bigger streams in the area, the Williams and Cranberry Rivers, along with some of their tributaries. Also included are places in Southern Pocahontas County, such as the Greenbrier River near Marlinton and Hillsboro and Beartown State Park on the border with Greenbrier County.

A good portion of these photos were taken at a favorite spot along the Pocahontas County, WV / Highland County, VA border. The other half or so come from the Bluegrass Valley in Virginia, including shots of Hightown. WV locations include Buffalo Lake, Abes Run, Top of Allegheny, Buffalo Ridge, and North Fork of Deer Creek.

Photos from within Canaan Valley State Park as well as sections of the Canaan Valley National Wildlife Refuge, including the Beall Tract, trails out A-frame Road, and the Freeland Boardwalk.

Probably the coolest place in the whole state. See my page "Bear Rocks" for photos specific to that area of the Sods. These are from the rest of the expansive wilderness.

These mostly include Gaudineer Knob and the Mower Tract area of Cheat Mountain. The rest were taken at and near Camp Pioneer in Beverly, WV.

Nothing but photos taken at Bear Rocks Preserve in Dolly Sods. I hope you like sunrises and sunsets.

Photos taken along Shavers Fork of the Cheat River ranging from Bemis, WV, through Bowden to the other side of Elkins. This includes Fishing Hawk Creek, the Southern end of Otter Creek Wilderness, Bear Heaven, Bickle Knob, Forest Service Road 91, Stuart Recreation Area, and Shavers Fork Road

All photos taken in The New River Gorge National Park as well as at Babcock State Park and at Plum Orchard Lake.
