Sunrise Commute

Sunrise CommuteWhen I came around a curve, on this mountainous highway (Va. Rt. 501,) while driving my wife to work, this beautiful sunrise presented itself to me. What an opportunity and reason enough to keep your camera with you at all times. This image was taken on Monday, 11/06/2006.


The Promise

The PromiseThis sunrise was taken just west of Lynchburg, Virginia on a back road off of (Va. Rt. 501,) on my way home. This explosion of color was taken on Monday, 11/06/2006.


A Pastoral Life

A Pastoral LifeThis peaceful and beautiful scene was taken on a back road in the Shenandoah Valley. Beautiful scenery abounds in this region of the Blue Ridge! Bob and I take little photo safaris quite often and this is one such day, Monday, 11/06/2006.


A Beautiful Day on the Parkway

A Beautiful Day on the ParkwayTaken on the Blue Ridge Parkway in Virginia on Wednesday, 11/01/2006. With autumn drawing to an end, color-wise at this altitude, this view looking south offered what little color that was left on the trees.


Trickledown

TrickledownTaken on a small stream, in the Blue Ridge Mountains, on the National Forest road through Petites Gap off of the Blue Ridge Parkway in Virginia. This is an infinitesimal little stream which often times offers better photo opts than larger bodies of water. Keep your eyes open for these tiny gems at all times!


Bridge in the Middle

Bridge in the MiddleTaken in the Blue Ridge Mountains, on the National Forest road through Petites Gap off of the Blue Ridge Parkway in Virginia. As we traveled down the mountain this larger creek began to run alongside the road. If you enlarge this image you will see a bridge in the center of the image, hence the title of the image, “Bridge in the Middle.”
