Don Kennedy  > Collections > In A Single Image - America's National Parks
Welcome to my collection of images from America's National Parks. Some years ago, I made it my lifelong goal to visit every national park. Over time, that goal has evolved and expanded. My plan now is to not only visit each park, but come away with a least one image that captures some aspect of that park. This doesn't mean I will always go for the iconic, obvious image. I look for a composition that goes beyond the postcard shot, but still tells a little piece of the story. Of course, when the iconic is the best image, I will take it and run.

This gallery contains one image from one hundred and three national parks, monuments, historic sites, memorials, and lakeshores/seashores. There are approximately 394, and I have been to about 150. Over time, I will be adding new images as I visit new parks, or go back to parks I have visited before, but don't have an image that meets my needs. Let me know what you think. I always appreciate feedback.

Don Kennedy > Eleanor Roosevelt's office in her home in Hyde Park, NY.  I like the simplicity of the name plate on her desk.  As for the photograph, the light was very low, and I couldn't use flash, so I switched to a very high ISO.  The resulting image was rather noisy, so I decided to use it instead of fighting it.  Notice the nameplate with her name misspelled.
Don Kennedy > Circular mounds and hiking trail, Effigy Mounds National Monument, Harpers Ferry, Iowa
Don Kennedy > View from the top of the Fire Island, NY lighthouse, looking down at the roof of the keepers quarters.  The stone blocks surrounding both buildings used to be the old Fire Island light.  When the old light was demolished in the 1850's, the stone was reused as part of the platform the new buildings sit on.  Part of the Fire Island National Seashore, NY.
Don Kennedy > Grave marker for Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt.  Franklin D. Roosevelt National Historic Site, Hyde Park, NY.
Don Kennedy > Located on the wall of Fort Mananzas National Memorial, just south of St. Augustine, FL.  Fort Manazas was built to protect the back door approach to Castillo De San Marco, the site of the first Spanish settlement in the new world.  Fort Mananzas was manned for 80 years, and never saw combat.
Don Kennedy > Entrance to the replica of Fort Caroline, an early French outpost in the New World.  Fort Caroline National Memorial, Florida.
Don Kennedy > Tabby remnants of the King's Magazine, with the foundation of the South Storehouse in the foreground and the Frederica River in the background.  Fort Frederica National Monument, Georgia.
Don Kennedy > 17th century British flag flies over a recreated outpost fort at Fort Raleigh National Historic Site.  Manteo, North Carolina.
Don Kennedy > Fort Matanzas National Monument, Florida.
