Twilight on Albright’s Creek

Twilight on Albright's Creek- North Landing River

Between the Pungo Ridge and the Land of Promise Ridge flows a Virginia Scenic River. The North Landing is a beautiful ribbon of water that sluggishly meanders south through thousands of acres of lush wetlands. Stained, tannic water trickles from the swamps and pocosins, filtered and cleansed by the peat and marshes, forming this majestic blackwater river. 

We live in a constructed world filled with atmospheres of noise. In the distance there is the sound of tires on pavement, air conditioners, airplanes, and the piercing, insistent beep-beep-beep of a backing truck. In our homes there is a television that no one is watching, the drone of a refrigerator fan, and phone notifications demanding attention that never seem to cease. But on the North Landing River, a few painted minutes before sunrise, the noise atmosphere is unspoilt, tranquil. Here, the clamor of progress is banished. Reeds rustle in the wind. A distant splash. The faint whistle of a duck in flight. The call of an owl. If twilight had a sound, I imagine it would be a hymn.
