Finally something new to share. Shot this in October, but just got around to working on it tonight.

A picturesque view of Mauch Chunk Lake in Jim Thorpe, Pennsylvania during the Autumn season. A partly cloudy day lights up the fall foliage along the lake's hillsides and shorelines. A cool and persistent breeze sends ripples across the water's surface on this October afternoon.

Today in Labor History January 18, 1983: The International Olympic Committee restored Jim Thorpe's Olympic medals to his family. Jim Thorpe (Wa-Tho-Huk) was a member of the Sac and Fox Nation and an Indigenous American athlete and Olympic gold medalist. He is considered one of the most versatile athletes of modern sports, winning two Olympic gold medals in the 1912 Summer Olympics (one in classic pentathlon and the other in decathlon). He also played football and baseball. They stripped him of his Olympic titles when they discovered he played two seasons of semi-professional baseball before competing in the Olympics, violating the amateurs-only rule of the era.

I hope this plays.

This is a short video taken while visiting the Lehigh Gorge this Autumn. It's hard to describe what it's like to have an area like this to yourself on a morning like this one. It's just one of the many many reasons I love landscape photography.

Most people will take the scenic train through here. I prefer the walk.

I've admired David Maraniss's work for years, & I was thrilled to talk to him about his new book, a wide-ranging bio of Jim Thorpe:
“I believe deeply that to understand someone in their fullness, you have to see the forces that shape them...geography, family & the context of their time.” #DavidMaraniss discusses new bio "Path Lit by Lightning: The Life of #JimThorpe" w/
