Photos of Lehigh Valley

Photos of Lehigh Valley Landscapes, Historic farms, Homes, and unique historical perspectives provided by our viewers! It’s not my birthplace but I call it home,

Not tourism, but hyper-local history. ♥️ Images of Lehigh, Northampton, Berks, Carbon Schuylkill Counties and Elsewhere!♥️ With the support of my friend Wayne Leibel (RIP) I began capturing images of the historic farms and beautiful vistas of Lehigh and Northampton Counties in Pennsylvania. The Poconos are to our North; Berks county to our West; New Jersey to our East; and Montgomery County is to our South.
