Horses at Long Branch Farm
This weekend Sherri and I took a trip west to visit Long Branch Historic House and Farm. Our intention was to get more information on the upcoming Shenandoah Valley Hot Air Balloon and Wine Festival. Our PhotowalkDC group is planning to attend this event next month.
We met with Tom Dunning, their Program Director, who gave us the information we were after and also gave us a very impressive tour of the main house. If you haven’t visited there you should just to walk through the 1811 built house.
The 400 acre farm offers 14 miles of four board fencing, streams, automatic waterers, run-in sheds and quality hay. The farm also serves as a horse retirement facility with as many as 85 equine residing at the estate.

In the second and third photos below, what appears like stalagmites rising from the floor is actually the ceilings reflection in a perfectly still pool of water.

Looking for a photography challenge? Try spelunking.
The family and I took a trip to Luray Caverns this weekend. There are some outstanding low light photo opportunities inside the cavern but extremely challenging without the use of a tripod. I’d highly recommend anyone visiting to at least bring a monopod.
