Knowlton (Township) New Jersey - #SkywatchFriday

If I mentioned Knowlton to you, you might well give me a blank look.

But if I mention the Delaware Water Gap - well, that's something different.

The Delaware Water Gap, on the border between Pennsylvania and New Jersey, is a "gap"where a river (the Delaware River, in this case) cuts through a mountain range.  Not only is the Delaware Water Gap a major recreational area in the Northeast United States, but it has historical significance, too, as it allowed travel in colonial times - the steep mountains on either side would have made travel quite difficult.

It is beautiful and the sky was, too, on this September day in 2016 when we traveled this road from Pennsylvania into New Jersey.

Ah, late summer, crossing the Delaware River.

Are they saying the view is postcard perfect?

I thought it was, as we crossed into rural Knowlton Township, New Jersey.

  4. I'd still have the blank stare on my face when you said Delaware Water Gap. It's amazing how much we miss on the west coast. But then again, east coasters wouldn't know about some of the things we take for granted. Beautiful shots.
