This is my entry and post for the Reflection Hunters Contest Round 18 by @annephilbrick in conjunction with the Shadow Hunters Community. You can read more about the contest and how to enter HERE!
This first photo is my entry for the Reflection Hunters Contest Round 18! My photo shows some maximum reflections that I captured from both sides of the Gunpowder Falls river.
I took all of these photos while I was on the Stocksdale Trail and the Sweathouse Trail which is at the Central Area of the Big Gunpowder Falls State Park in Baltimore County, Maryland. This area of the Gunpowder Falls State Park is located at approximately 10092 Belair Rd in Baltimore County, Maryland.
The Gunpowder Falls State Park consists of six non-contiguous areas that offer 120 miles of trails. The trails run right by the water and or through wooded areas. This trail runs mostly by the river but there are trails that offshoot and take you into more wooded areas. The river along this trail has a few spots that normally offer some sort of reflections depending on how fast the river is flowing and the weather. Early on my walk here this time the earlier spots offered colorful reflections but without much definition of the trees and leaves and such. This spot, however, was just spectacular!
It offered reflections from the opposite side than I was on which showed the trees, branches and greenery with great definition and the reflections from the side that I was on came through as smaller and mostly darker reflections from the over-hanging branches and leaves on my side. The pretty sky also shows up in the reflections.
All in all, it was a pretty awesome visit and I'm not only thankful that I got to see some beautiful sights and scenery but that I also get to share them here! 💖

All the images you have uploaded are truly reflective and are pretty amazing. You truly go along with the named contest. Well done
Thank you very much @cool08! I think this visit certainly gave me some max reflections on the water. 😉
Perfect reflections in that beautiful river! You have taken so many fantastic photos in that park.
Thank you so much Melinda!! Every visit is different and there are still areas that I haven't been to at the Gunpowder. I probably won't get to those other areas though but I'm happy to return to the ones that I can. 🙂

Beautiful reflection on the Stocksdale Trail and the Sweathouse Trail Dee.💞 It looked like a nice sunny day to take in the Gunpower Falls State Park and capture some great reflections in the water.
Thanks so much Jo!! It was indeed a sunny and beautiful day! The scenery was almost magical looking! Wishing you a wonderful weekend! 💞
Those reflections are amazingly clear, love them. Would be wonderful to actually be with you to see these sites.
Thank you very much @angiemitchell!! It was a beautiful scene and probably one of the most clear reflections that I've ever seen. Would love to be able to walk the trail with you and I know you would love the sights along the Gunpowder! 😊💕
