Great Falls

©2016 Henry S. Winokur Yet another view of Great Falls, taken early one foggy morning. When we got to this spot, one could barely see the first set of falls. I waited about 90 minutes to get to this point. It was well worth it, IMO. Looking north, and taken from the Virgina side.

Flying by the Milky Way

In order to take photos of the Milky Way and other celestial objects, one needs a dark sky. Two friends and I drove--separately--out to Rappahannock County Park, just out side of Washington, VA, in August--to get some photos of the MW. It's nearly 70 miles from DC, but is probably the closest "dark sky" area for us. ©2020 Henry S. Winokur

Aircraft transversing the Milky Way...

On one of my trips to Washington, VA in the fall of 2020, I recorded this image of the Galactic Center of the Milky way. Little did I know at the time that this aircraft would fly into the photo (it's a time exposure of around 20-30 seconds at ISO 6400. ©2020 Henry S. Winokur

Milky Way

Now this is a good shot of the Milky Way. It's just not 1 shot. It is in fact, a panorama of 4 shots, combined. Taken in August at the Rappahannock County Park, just outside Washington, VA., about 70 miles SW of DC ©2020 Henry S. Winokur

Trees and grasses

Sometimes things that don't look good in color do well in monochrome. Such is the case here. Huntley Meadows County Park, in SW Alexandria, VA., taken in December. ©2020 Henry S. Winokur

On a visit to Riverbend Park in McLean, a very small waterfall. I doubt it was more than 12" high. April 6, 2021 ©2021 Henry S. Winokur

These Blue Bell flowers in Riverbend Park, McLean, look quite large. They're not. Each flower is barely 3/4" long. April 6, 2021 ©2021 Henry S. Winokur

@NationalParksAtNight DC workshop In Alexandria, the Masonic Temple is bathed in "T-Mobile" pink. Except that it wasn't for anything related to T-Mobile. If you are landing to the north at National Airport, you can see the Temple as it is just to the west of the flight path. April 23, 2021 ©2021 Henry S. Winokur

On my @NationalParksAtNight workshop we visited a very small #NationalCemetary in Alexandra. I didn't even know it was there, did you? There are at least 3 other *private* cemeteries surrounding Alexandria National Cemetery. This particular image was taken in one of the 3. April 23, 2021 ©2021 Henry S. Winokur

One of the places the @NationalParksAtNight workshop went was the *big* (and way better known) National Cemetery in Arlington. April 25, 2021 ©2021 Henry S. Winokur

The core (or Galactic Center) of the Milky Way. Taken at the Hazel Mountain Overlook off Skyline Drive. The bright lights are from the DC area, about 70-80 miles to the east. Taken on a @NationalParksAtNight workshop in late June, 2021. ©2021 Henry S. Winokur

Milky Way Dinosaurs

The Galactic Center (aka "the core) of the Milky Way. The scene reminds me of the dinosaurs that probably roamed this 'hood when the Appalachians weren't quite as old as they are now. The image was taken from the @BigMeadow parking lot and the red colors are from brake lights reflected on the tree trunks. Taken on a @NationalParksAtNight workshop in April, 2021. ©2021 Henry S.
