View from a Blue Ridge Mountains Overlook

Verdant foliage - it had rained only 15 minutes prior to this capture, and had cleared the sky of any haze. At 65 degrees with a light breeze, this was a perfect day to be in the mountains with a camera.

That brings back memories of when I lived up north. The biggest thing we miss are the mountains. Thanks for the great shot!

That is a great shot. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you Zinkler. I never tire of mountain vistas. I just wouldn't want to live there in the winter.

Beautiful DOF- Great shot.
Thank you very much CrispColors. I had always heard one should include some foreground (the grass), some mid-range (trees) and then the horizon so one can fully appreciate the distance.

Amazing shot Bob. Makes me wish I'd been there in that moment. I like the square crop on this too.

I can see why they call them the Blue Ridge. Great shot.
Thanks rgrenaderphoto, the Blue Ridge Parkway starts up north in Virginia, then runs through North Carolina and down into Georgia. It's a very windy road, speed limit 45 mph, and we were driving even slower than that so we could be sure to stop at all the overlooks.

I had to chuckle zodirock. I'm originally from Michigan, you when you said "up north", I think we were picturing different places.

Thanks Walt. The square crop probably had more to do with the fact that I shot vertically on this one, and had way more grass than I needed.

you certainly captured the blue, lovely and soothing
Thanks much, C.R. I'm not sure if all mountain ranges in NC look blue in the distance, but this one certainly does. If I were to drive a little further to the west, I could see the Great Smoky Mountains, but I think they come off as grey colored.
