Last week I travelled to my hometown of Cumberland, Maryland to visit my brother’s grave on the first anniversary of his passing. While the day was overcast and chilly, the autumn leaves brought enormous warmth to everything around them, and somehow helped to lighten the somber mood of the trip. I have no doubt that a day or two later most of those same leaves fell from their trees, and are now currently turning a dingy shade of brown on the ground. Thankfully I had the opportunity to take some time to capture pictures of a part of the city that I didn’t have nearly enough time to explore in my childhood. Cumberland is truly a dazzling city at this time of year.
