Just found out that "The Long Unwinding Road" is in NJ! Forsythe Wildlife Preserve, Galloway Twp., New Jersey, a tidal estuary loaded with Bald Eagles, Harrier Hawks, Terns, and so forth... to be exact... I would have never guessed

I voted for Rain on the Lens 'cause I love how it almost resembles a beautiful impressionist painting.
