Verdant

This is a view from along central Pennsylvania’s highway 322 in Mifflin County, just before one climbs the “Seven Mountains” area into Centre County. Probably since the first day when I moved to Pennsylvania over five years ago, I’ve eyed this view and sought to capture it at just the right moment. That penultimate moment finally arrived during an August afternoon, when I caught these dramatic rain clouds moving over the mountain. The lands below were so vibrant and green that they inspired this piece’s title.
