Maryland Daily PhotoEvery Week Day a New Picture from MD

Admitedly,  this site has hosted almost too many pictures of the Monocacy river.  However, its hard not to want to share such a beautiful place.  I have found that, unlike the land around the bay, much of the land along the potomac is fortunately open to the public.  However, little of it is as welcoming to sit and watch a sunset as the Monocacy aqueduct.  This is due to the fact that it bridges the Monocacy river around 100 to 200 feet away from where it joins the potomac.  This seemingly small distance is actually quite significant in that it allows you to move far enough back to see the sunset through the trees and over the neighboring shore.  

This picture has nothing to do with that though.  It looks decidedly upstream and to the east, but it picks up the light from the sunset and I like it. 

We are also looking at the stone that marks the comemoration of the Monocacy aqueduct.
