Clara and I drove 50 miles through a twisting gorge in the dark and through a very dense fog to reach this spot. The lake was flooding and this was taken just before sunrise. I know the water looks like snow, but it isn't. She liked this so much we will put a large print on our living room wall.
Another example of how Clara graces my life.

Ceasars Head, South Carolina, USA, after sunrise in autumn. This viewpoint (which is basically a roadside parking lot with a lame visitor center) is officially only open at 9AM, after waking up at 4AM in Asheville, North Carolina, I found the gates to the parking area closed, so I parked along the roadside and shot some photos, as I was leaving I got yelled at by very belligerent park rangers as if I committed a treasonous crime, in the end they let me go without paying a fine, or even the regular entrance fee, but please, WHY is a roadside viewpoint even CLOSED at any hour in the first place? Ridiculous......
Happy Sunday to all.
One location I've always wanted to get for years is the overpass west of Winchester, Ohio off Route 32. Getting anything running this far east is quite an ordeal, but getting a westbound in good light is next to impossible. Hopefully with the new gravel business on the east end, shots like this can be easier to get.
Its just after sunrise and all the signs of bitter cold are in the air, as CSX's Spirit of Law Enforcement engine #3194 brings M692 up the holler at Fords Branch, KY on the very beginning of its run from Shelby to Russell. Modern GE power is the only clue of the year in this time-capsule valley, as 1940s-era C&O signals, steaming tin roofs, and pieced-together pick-ups dot this unmistakable scene of Appalachia as hazy foothills loom large behind.
Much of the Appalachian Trail that winds through Pennsylvania is moderately dangerous littered with rocks of all sizes. It may take over an hour to go one mile.

Here is Hwy 107 heading southbound from Cashiers, North Carolina into Mountain Rest, South Carolina...In late October through November, deep, foggy, vaporous conditions such as this may suddenly appear at all times of the day and night across these ridgelines. When I stopped to make this quick phone shot, it was 3:00 - 4:00 in the afternoon. The fog descends over and across the roadways and down into the deep, steep gorges blanketing the streams, creeks and waterfalls, At times, it was so dense, I could barely see the centerlines in the roadway as I was driving back down into South Carolina.
Tucked deep in the hills of eastern Kentucky, the C&O era cantilever at Dawkins lights a clear for C501, one of countless loads of coal the Big Sandy has been host to.
The Civilian Conservation Corp created this lake in the 1930's. Part of the 63,000 acre state forest and called "the Little Smokies of Ohio." Very rural Appalachian area with beautiful scenery.
The Mountain Laurel were in full bloom and we were enticed to walk a short distance down the Appalachian Trail. This trail runs from the state of Georgia to the state of main and is 2,200 miles long. We probably covered.... oh I would say an eight of a mile of it! LOL It runs through the Shenandoah National Park.

Gotta love the Apllalachian Mountains
