I took a trip on one of my off days from work two weeks ago. My goal was to get some shots of the Glade Creek Grist Mill. Unfortunately my time management was off as I got to the mill right at 1:00 in the afternoon. The sky was clear as a bell and the sun was blazing which meant the conditions could not have been worse. I walked around for a while and scouted out which locations would give me the views I wanted and decided to run over to the New River Gorge Bridge and then come back later when the light was better.

Good idea, as I was able to get a decent shot of the bridge from the overlook below the park visitor center, and then when I got back to the mill, the light was much better.

My next West Virginia adventure will be to Blackwater Falls State park.

As always, the downloads are best.

Always great to see photos of Glades Mill. I liked your 3rd. showing your shooting location. Have shot from that exact spot many times. I have shot many areas of WV and lots of waterfalls. Someone else mentioned Falls Creek which is beautiful also just prepare for a lot of stairs. My son lives near Babcock. St. Park and you have endless opportunities for great photography there.
My son just informed me last week that Bridge Days were canceled this year due to the hospitals being overloaded already from covid. Base jumpers come from around the world to parachute off the bridge and they do have quite a few injuries. Attended that event three yrs. ago and it is exciting to say the least.

Sad to hear about Bridge Days being canceled. I saw signs on Rt. 60 for it, and talked to a couple of people at the visitor center who were looking forward to it. Another COVID-19 casualty.
