Week 7: Photos from Mason Neck

November 2020 ยท 2 minute read

This past week I visited Mason Neck, a state park off of the Potomac river. Instead of a regular post with text and a narrative this will more or less just be a collection photos with some captions, enjoy! As usual, all these photos are in the order I took them.

Mason Neck has some small beaches that make this area feel more like an ocean shore or at least one of a bay

At the end of the beech there were these water trough things. Not sure there purpose or use but they look interesting

These two trees and the vines created an interesting natual archway to walk through

This is another beech at the park though not connected to the previous one; it has a bit more sand on it

Parts of the beech was covered in what almost looked to be seaweed though I guess more accurately riverweed

Simular to the previous image just from a slightly different perspective
