Occoquan Bay

These intriguingly colorful houses face Occoquan Bay, which is along the Potomac River. The only access to these houses is a private road from inside the Leesylvania State Park. The waterway behind the houses and the train trestle is the Julie J. Metz Wetlands Bank.

I love this. Reminds me of the colours of Lunenburg, Nova Scotia near to where I live. Nice capture.

I like all the different bright colors on the houses.

[Carolyn]

Fabulous shot. I love all the colors, Maybe they have strong colors to brighten up their winter days.

@lynnekovan Thanks, Lynne. It's so interesting to hear that this reminds you of a place in Nova Scotia. It's a small world.

@moxy Thanks, Shelley. It's tricky to find any color outdoors these days. :)

@carolyns Thanks, Carolyn. The strong colors certainly brightened up my winter day today.

Wow, colors, composition! Really nice picture Karen.

[Deborah Ortiz]

Very nice. The colors really pop with out of the winter dreariness.

@tjchapa Thanks, Julie!

@davydo Thanks, Dave! One must look high and low for a flash of colors these days. Today I went with high--climbed up the bluff on a snowy pathway to view these houses.

@deborahortiz Thanks, Debbie! If the sun isn't shining, photos are more difficult. I was so glad to get a good shot of these colorful houses.

[Richard Hoeg]

[Lady Magpie (Heather)]

A very beautiful scene and capture, love the various colours of the buildings, beats the boring red bricks.

[Lee]

Great shot. Really love the different styles and colours the houses. I Think maybe houses built on stilts is the future over here.

@richardhoeg @cljs @tonygig Thank you for your positive feedback.

[Khawbecker]

@ladymagpie Thanks, Heather. Old red brick has so much character though.

[Khawbecker]

@gamelee Thanks, Lee. I am told that these houses suffered damage from a hurricane in 2003 and thereafter were built on stilts.
