3 Shots: Fall at First Landing

First Landing State Park is a small, swampy state park that sits on Cape Henry, the cape between the Chesapeake and The Atlantic in Virginia Beach.  It's not exactly Yosemite, but it's strikingly beautiful in its own way.  Here's three shots from a walk I took there a couple of weeks ago:

This is Long Creek, looking inland from a spot near the mouth.  The park's geography is really odd - there are a bunch of creeks like this, all running pretty much parallel to each other.  All of the trails, therefore, walk along the former sand dunes between the swamps.  I wonder about how exactly this land was formed.

This is Long Creek as well, I think.  I'm not sure about this picture.  Maybe it's too busy.  But I think it's a cool angle nonetheless, though the exposure was really difficult to figure out.

I'm proud of this one.  It was a pretty simple picture to take - backlit spanish moss with a zoom lens anda small aperture.  Spanish moss has really amazing shapes, I think, and its nearly invisible hair around the stems makes for a great halo effect.
