This is below Hawks Nest (Ansted), in West Virginia, from the boat landing at Hawks Nest State Park. July or August of 1998. The river's calm mostly because it's backed up behind the Hawks Nest dam. Photographed with my Nikon N90s and scanned from the negative.

Just across the blue ridge, where the high meadows lay And the galax spreads through the new mown hay, There’s a rusty iron bridge, cross a shady ravine Where the hard road ends and turns to clay. With a suitcase in his hand there the lonesome boy stands, Gazing at the river sliding by beneath his feet, But the dark water springs from the black rocks and flows Out of sight where the twisted laurel grows. – Tommy Thompson , 1976 ============== The Chessie line crosses the New River just above the Hawks Nest dam (and just below Hawks Nest proper); Ansted, West Virginia, September 25, 1998.
