Harpers Ferry (2020-12)
We parked at the train station which is still actively used by both Amtrak and MARC, Maryland's rail system. From the station, the town was into the sun which resulted in a beautiful view with the ice covered trees.
We decided to walk across the railroad bridge to the Maryland side. We saw a freight train rumble by on the adjacent bridge as we started walking. The chain link fence that separates the pedestrian walkway from the track was covered in ice though it was melting fast. This resulted in some interesting ice formations that protruded from the fence. We also saw a few pieces of ice suspended by spider silk! After admiring some of the icy trees on the Maryland side, we walked back to West Virginia.
A line of icicles suspended underneath a railing at the river's edge. Maryland and the railroad bridge we walked across are in the background.
There were also a number of ice covered trees in the town. It was a bit hard to try to photograph them as the ice effect is only really noticeable when looking towards the sun. This is definitely one of those cases where it looked more beautiful in real life!
