Blackrock Summit Sunset


Blackrock Summit Sunset, originally uploaded by Sky Noir.

Blackrock Mountain trail emerges from a dense forest onto a jumble of boulders. In the fading light and gusty wind this rocky summit looked and felt like something you might see in the Rocky Mountains out west. I tried to capture this feeling in this HDR image with the golden sunlight and the trail leading you upward among the craggy rocks. The black and green splatters on the rocks are Lichens growing in great abundance and verity.

Ridge Road Sunrise

More from the road... This shot was taken heading south on the Blue Ridge Parkway not far from Love Virginia. The texture of the granite road cut, outstretched highway, and golden glow of the mountains in the distance combine to capture the essence of a road trip adventure.

Skyline Drive meanders among the peaks of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Driving this highway in the fall is a real feast for the eyes. Rich colors and heavenly views make this ribbon of pavement one of the most beautiful drives in the USA.
