2017 Fall in West Virginia
In a famous John Denver song there is a line "Almost Heaven - West Virginia" which must have been referring to the amazing show that occurs each fall in the mountains around the Canaan Valley. The pictures below were taken during a short trip I made there in October, 2017. I hope you enjoy viewing them as much as I enjoyed taking them.
