Stairway to Heaven

Stairway to Heaven

This photo is one of several I have taken over a series of visits to High Rock at sunset. The overlook sits at 1800 feet on South Mountain near the Maryland-Pennsylvania border. It is interesting how the rock attracts such an array of humanity at sunset. This particular photo was taken with an infrared converted camera, and it captures the ghostlike qualities of the players on this stage. When I visit there now, the location seems to have some spiritual calm about it. When I visited it as a youth, it was a highpoint along the Appalachian Trail, but as a youth, it served more as a break for a sandwich than a spiritual landmark.
