After the Storm

Picnic Pavilion in Lenape Park

Picnic Pavilion in Lenape Park

What a difference ten minutes makes. You know the awesome clouds I mentioned yesterday? When I looked back through my photos from yesterday, I discovered one that had captured them, after all! This photo of the picnic pavilion in Lenape Park was taken just ten minutes before the photo of the covered bridge I posted yesterday. These are the clouds that caught my eye as I was returning to Perkasie. The sun had just broken through a hole in the clouds as I was taking this shot, and I was at the right place at the right time. This photo is a good illustration of why I always have a camera with me. It’s not just luck, but being prepared for when the light strikes!

Spring Storm

Perkasie Covered Bridge

Perkasie Covered Bridge

As I was driving past the park this afternoon, I noticed some awesome clouds in the western sky, just after the rain had stopped. I began looking for a subject to take advantage. The Covered Bridge in Lenape Park is one of my favorite subjects, so I decided to see if I could find a way to capture it along with the clouds. Well, by the time I got parked and walked over to the bridge, the clouds as I first saw them were pretty well gone; they had already started to break up. But they were still interesting, and coupled with the blossoms on a few of the trees around the bridge, made an interesting subject. This photo was the result, photographed today (4-13-10).

Spring on Market Street

Spring on Market Street, Perkasie, PA

I photographed this beautiful view looking east on Market Street from Seventh Street yesterday (4/6/10) with the spring blossoms nearly at their peak. It’s another of my HDR (high dynamic range) photos, a composite of five separate exposures. It was quite windy when I shot it, so the blossoms are blurred slightly where the exposures didn’t quite match.

Covered Bridge in Lenape Park

Covered Bridge in Lenape Park, Perkasie, PA

Welcome! Perkasie.com has become a photo blog, showing off the best (and maybe sometimes the less than best) of our beautiful community of the Borough of Perkasie. I’ve lived here more than 25 years — since 1984. I love walking around town and documenting what I see with my camera.

This first post includes a photo of the covered bridge in Lenape Park, just off Walnut Street and Constitution Avenue. It was taken February 9, 2010 just after one of our major snowfalls. It’s a stylized digital photo using my HDR technique (as are many of my recent photos), combining 5 separate exposures into one for more detail. It was also converted to black and white with a wash-type frame added.

Prints are available for purchase. Click Here to view the photo in my complete photo gallery at BobBergey.com, where you can add it to your shopping cart, select a size and finish, and complete your purchase.

I expect to add photos from around town to this site on a somewhat regular basis, so please stop back and visit again. Comments and questions are welcome.
