Critique A walk in Mason District Park, Annandale VA -- 7 images

[Hylander]

It's not a large park, but it includes playing fields, tennis courts, a dog park, and trails up and down a steep slope and across streams. Yesterday was a cool, cloudy day with some rain. I took my usual walk with my dog and my Z6 down from the dog park to the playing fields and back up.

This is a really great set. Your photos should be used by Fairfax county for this park as advertising.

I played a lot of basketball and softball there growing up. We lived close to 7 Corners. Most of my HS class lived in that area.

Ooh, these photos are so nice! And, yep, near my stomping grounds, too, as I'm in Mason District (that is, the Falls Church area of Fairfax County) and am right down the road a piece from Seven Corners. Oddly enough I've never explored this particular park even though I've lived in this area for quite some time and also lived and worked in Annandale for a while as well....

ETA: Actually, in thinking about it I realize that this is the park that I visited one time with friends when we were attending some sort of county-sponsored event at the outdoor amphitheater there..... (Is it even still there now?) I later returned and wandered around a little on my own with the camera, but didn't really get into exploring too many of the trails.

Excellent compositions! Very nice, Bill!

Thank you, John. I go to the dog park, which is located off Little River Turnpike, nearly every day.

The amphitheater is still there. The walking trails are really nice, with a lot of variety within a small compass.

One of these days I should head over there, see what I can find......I'd probably never get beyond the Amphitheater, though!
