Jim Thope, PA

As a photographer, I have grown to love seeing new things in every day life.  From a stroll in the park at sunset, to a roller coaster ride at the Amusement park.  Coming across my many travels, from state parks to crossing state borders I have seen many different sites and captured a few memorable things thru my camera lens.

One place I have come across more than once is the beautiful Jim Thorpe, PA. 

Tucked away in the Leigh Valley it is a place I have loved going to.  On top of it's rich history of both my family, and United States history it is a wonderful relaxing place to visit every now and again.

A beautiful view of the church going into town.

Another old building...looking out onto the valley.

Another beautiful view of the clock and the statue.

One of the famous Inn's.  Although you won't catch me staying there....I've heard stories it's Haunted!

The beautiful clock...

The historic Statue....the stones used to be cement on the bottom until it was restored.

As you can tell this small city is a beautiful site to see.  There is more to discover each and every visit...but to this day, it is an enchanting little town tucked away in the Lehigh Valley.
