Winter in Wrightsville, Pa.: ‘The sunset here is always awesome’
Linked in/Neat stuff: Eagles Nest camera/Warfield and Bacas duel on saxes
‘Sometimes risking frostbite is worth it,’ the York, Pa., Daily Record’s Anthony Machcinski tweeted. He came away with this lovely photograph. He was in downstream from Veterans Memorial Bridge in Wrightsville, on the Susquehanna River. ‘As for what drew me to the scene,’ he wrote, ‘Wrightsville has always been beautiful to me from the minute I first stepped into it (actually stopped here at a local gas station on the way back from my first interview, not realizing I’d end up living here.) The sunset here is always awesome. In the summer, the sunset goes over High Point and creates a neat effect, but it shifts a bit in the winter and ends up shining over a lot of the houses here.’ See another Machcinski picture and more of his description below. Also of interest: 5 image explore Wrightsville’s bridgehead – upstream and down.

Wrightsville, Part II: Anthony Machcinski continued: ‘I wanted to take a photo of the bridge that’s totally orange from the sunset, but couldn’t ignore how bright the sun was, so I just decided to turn and take a picture (above). So even though it was in the 20s, windy and by the River, I couldn’t help but love this scene.’ Here’s that view of the bridge:

Track records help you gauge politicians, but it’s different for Tom Wolf. What can we learn from his York Co. past? http://t.co/ayo9CeRxx7 — scott blanchard (@scott_blanchard) January 10, 2015
