About three and a half hours west of Philadelphia, or as an old railroad foreman named Beetle told me, two hundred twenty-two railroad miles west, lies Tyrone Pennsylvania, my hometown. Settled in 1850 and incorporated in 1857, it grew up around the railroad and the local iron forges. Band leader Fred Waring, "the man who taught America to sing," was proud to call Tyrone home. So am I really, and I love going home in the fall, when the area transforms into a kaleidoscope of bright colors, and it's easy to get lost in places called Camp Kanesatake and Indian Lookout and Tytoona Cave and Humps Pond. These pictures were taken at or near all of these places.
