Along the Blue Ridge

Along the Blue Ridge


Over the Labor Day weekend we visited the majestic Blue Ridge Parkway. Due to the gray and overcast skies, on this particular trip the mountains were not quite majestic. The above image, which is a typical representation of the "blue ridge", was taken with 2 filters stacked on the lens in order to bring out some of the lines in the horizon. A couple of color shifts, histogram adjustments, and some sharpening brings about a more desirable image.

Below are a few of my recollections from our visit. Fall will soon be upon us. I hope to bring back some fantastic views. Enjoy.


This couple cruised by on their Harley. They reminded me of some great friends we left behind in Florida.







This is one of the more picturesque trail heads along the drive. All is beautiful except for the graffitti that mars the stones.










Early signs of Fall.
