Lake Needwood - August 15

Lake Needwood in Rockville, Maryland. I 'm going by metro to Rockville, then there's a bus (48 or 49) that leaves me at Bauer Drive; then there is about one hour through the woods, following the Rock Creek Trail.

- Arriving at Lake Needwood -

- With Captain Jim over Lake Needwood -

Captain Jim is the commander of Queen. He is a great guy, full of humor and kindness.



The cruise is going on and Captain Jim is giving us all kind of explanations related to the lake and its surroundings. It seems that no pirates have ever threatened the places.



Now Captain Jim made up his mind to show us a beaver. It was very much fun on the boat. The voice of Captain Jim reminds me of Vasile Axente, an old friend from Bucharest. I looked for him when I was in Romania last time, without success. I will try again next time.

- Over the Dam -



This video is not a great one (to put it mildly), but the place offers a unique view. On one side, the lake, on the other side, the forest. All colored by the light of sun.

- Deers at Lake Needwood -

Actually a young deer and a doe, on the Westside Trail of Lake Needwood.

- Leaving Lake Needwood -



Back on the Rock Creek Trail, after a day spent at Lake Needwood.

- Rock Creek, with and without flash -

- And two photos as a tribute to Pan's Labyrinth of Guillermo del Toro -
