Located at the north end of Dolly Sods atop the Allegheny Front the preserve is owned by the Nature Conservancy. The Allegheny Front is an east facing escarpment which forms a boundary between the folded Ridge and Valley Province to the east and the Appalachian Plateau to the west. The area around Bear Rocks supports a subalpine heathland.

While taking this picture, I was approached by an out-of-stater offering me his leftover marijuana so he didn't have to take it across state lines. I advised him to take it with him and just not get arrested.
L'anse aux Meadows at the far north tip of the Great Northern Peninsula in Newfoundland was the first landing site of Vikings in North America around 1000 AD. The archaeological remains of the settlement were discovered in 1960 by the Ingstads, a Norwegian couple who were convinced that this is the site of Vinland of Norse sagas. The settlement was though to have lasted for a couple of years before it was abandoned. It is a UNESCO World Heritage site. The original settlement contain eight buildings constructed of sod laid over a wood frame construction. This is a detail of the sod construction of building F, a reconstruction of the largest house. Sod houses are surprisingly warm and dry and cozy and Inside the house a small fire was all that was needed for heating (and cooking).

Seventeenth century village of Saksun on the Faroe Islands which belong to Denmark. Saksun lies in the bottom of what used to be an inlet of the sea, surrounded by high mountains.
It was a good day for those with umbrellas. I always carry one in my bike bag. And a rain jacket which was a good move.

Just back from several days shooting away in western Maryland and West Virginia ... a morning view here from the Dolly Sods area looking over the sea of fog enveloping West Virginia.
Mother Nature works her magic in the Allegheny Mountains of Eastern West Virginia. The Dolly Sods Wilderness Area contains 17,371 acres.
A final Happy Sliders Sunday with this blending of two images. The blur hour early morning capture taken in the Dolly Sods area of West Virginia, and the then the Milky Way which was captured while at the north rim of the Grand Canyon.
Would be neat to see the Milky Way out east like you can in the remote west ... but alas civilization that allows us to enjoy photography in the first place must take precedence :))
Ready for the off - 2 different reactions from among the group of morris dancers as they wait to start
The terrain of Dolly Sods Wilderness in NE West VA is like being somewhere much further north...like Canada.
El bicarbonat sòdic es un anti-àcid i combateix les flatulències. Combateix l'acidesa provocada pel reflux gastro-esofàgic a causa del àcid clorhídric que puja per l'esòfag des de l'estómac. El bicarbonat sòdic neutralitza l'àcid transformant-lo en clorur de sodi. L'alleujament és immediat.
A més a més, el bicarbonat també es pot utilitzar en la reposteria i fa l'efecte del llevat.

The ever elusive "Gray Ghost" gave me a nice look, back on the sod farms of Wallkill NJ.

I'm still filtering through some old files as I plan some day trips for some Autumn shooting excursions.
The Bear Rocks is part of the Dolly Sods Wilderness Area. This high-elevated plateau features an ecosystem that is typical to more northern regions. Beautiful geological formations and firey-red vegetation make this place one of the most photographed in West Virginia. Although capturing an interesting photograph might be a challenge. Relentless winds make a photographer's work difficult, and autumn can be chillingly cold. I experienced both during my trip to the place in October 2015. It was a windy and freezing morning, but the beauty of the place prevailed and made me patiently wait for the sun to appear above the horizon.
Late day lighting over the Dolly Sods in West Virginia. The sun hitting the cloud deck from above and shining down through to the highlands made for some interesting tones.
Dolly Sods Wilderness. The 17,371 acre Dolly Sods Wilderness in the Monongahela National Forest is part of the National Wilderness Preservation System. Elevations range from 2,500 to over 4,700 feet.
Early pre-dawn in the Dolly Sods area of West Virginia on a very cloudy, windy, and cool Fall morning. There was some sleet in the air along with some light rain.
Now this was another surprise in Norway! Sod roofs aka turf roofs were common. They were not just confined to living accommodation but also regularly seen on sheds, bus shelters, mail boxes etc.
According to Wiki, the concept goes back several thousand years. Until fairly recently the most common method used was to place sod on top of several layers of birch bark that had been laid on gently sloping wooden roof boards. The weight compressed the timber construction underneath, originally logs, making the inside more draught proof. This was even more apparent with the weight of winter snow on top. Another advantage was turf being quite a good insulator.
The modern method is to use bitumen roofing felt combined with dimpled plastic drainage membranes in place of birch bark. The turf is then laid over this drainage layer.

The leaves are nearing peak at Dolly Sods Wilderness! Here is this mornings (Sept. 22) beautiful display of color courtesy of Mother Nature!
Early light and time of day there in the Dolly Sods Wilderness Area located in the highlands of West Virginia.
... in the Dolly Sods area of West Virginia. This was in early Spring 2014. Hoping to return there soon for some Autumn captures. Will be neat to compare ...
This sod house is a recreation of the type of homes that were built by the early pioneers in the Central Plains Region.
Was hoping to see some nice Fall colors during this visit to the West Virginia Highlands, as was not disappointed. An approaching storm front was heading for the area on this particular Friday evening, and was not sure if I wanted to be at this top of the world. Glad that I headed up there as it was raining below and windy. When I arrived it was still raining but it looked like it would clear a little looking to the west. Not long after the rain became a drizzle then tapered off as the sun set. It was quite breezy making long exposures a challenge, but I did attempt some, and will most likely post some of them. Here the lighting was getting real special. The white balance is set to cloudy which warms the light a little, but in the end the setting sun hitting the tops of the clouds made for some nice tones. Here you are facing east, so the sun was setting to my back. Had to shoot in this direction anyways as in the other direction the lens would have been facing the strong winds and the light rain that was falling at this time.
Shared this with some other photographers there, as well as some that were just there to camp in the area for the night. I did not envy them for the tent (I do like to tent camp, but not in the conditions that they would see by morning). I returned here for sunrise, it lets just say it was sleeting and 20 MPH plus winds ... pretty brutal conditions, but made for some great shots to I think, will be processing them soon.
