I had forgotten about this park, and when traveling to Fort Wayne with some friends saw the sign and for it, so I thought I would check it out the next day.

Here is some info: It is a 605 acre park with 270 acres are dedicated as a State Nature Preserve. This park contains the largest contiguous forest in the county, and a glacial sand dune. There are 7 miles of marked trails, and 6 miles offer cross country skiing in the winter, as long as there is 4 or more inches of snow.

I really enjoyed this park, and it actually hits the edge of Interstate 69. I have passed this lovely park many times, and did not know I missing something so special.

I did use photomatix to process this one. Thank you for your comments.

Nice and colorful scene nicely lit by the sun and the shadows add to the beauty of the scene.

Sandi, with this fine image, you've given us a good impression of this wonderful park. If you'll have the opportunity, think it's a good reason for some further exploration / photo shoots.
Thanks for this one, my friend.

Lovely shot of a forest path. I like the late-day shadows and the way the trees make sort of a canopy over the path. Really beautiful.

The reason why the sun sets in the evening is because it wants to see the sunrise in the morning. I rise in the morning because I want to see them both. RvdB
