The Blue Ridge Parkway

Looking west at Mt. Athabasca's north glacier with the cloudy skies above glowing from the first rays of a new day.
Mount Athabasca, rises more than 5,000 feet above the Icefields Parkway, to its summit at 11,453 ft (3,491 m). This peak is in the midst of the Columbia Icefield, the largest expanse of ice in the Canadian Rockies. Mt. Athabasca straddles a triple continental divide, with water from its slopes flowing west towards the Pacific Ocean, east towards Hudson's Bay, and north towards the Arctic Ocean.
Have a wonderful week!
This 1243-ft. concrete segmental bridge on the Blue Ridge Parkway snakes around the slopes of Grandfather Mountain in North Carolina. It was completed in 1987 at a cost of $10 million and was the last section of the Blue Ridge Parkway to be finished.
This was taken in the middle of the day with a polarizer.😩 I like the colors better late or early in the day as they are softer I think, but you take what you can get.
Enlarge for more detail. Color has peaked in this area.
A b/w rendition of an earlier color shot of a typical view when driving Alberta's spectacular Icefields Parkway. Most beautiful drive I've been blessed to enjoy numerous times.
Here I'm driving north towards Dolomite and Watermelon peaks.
As always, your visits, comments, faves and suggestions are appreciated!

The Marine Parkway–Gil Hodges Memorial Bridge is a vertical-lift bridge in New York City, New York, that crosses Rockaway Inlet. The bridge, which opened on July 3, 1937, connects the Rockaway Peninsula in Queens, with Flatbush Avenue to Floyd Bennett Field, Belt Parkway, and the Marine Park neighborhood in Brooklyn. The center span is 540 feet (160 m) long and is normally 55 feet (17 m) above the water but can be lifted to a height of 150 feet (46 m) above water level. With its distinctive twin towers (which house the vertical-lift machinery), the bridge has become an iconic landmark and symbol of the Rockaways.

one of the most beautiful reagions in the world. The icefields parkway in the canadian rockies. Somewhere between Banff and the Columbia Icefield
On the way to Columbia Icefield...
The splendour of the Icefields Parkway (Hwy 93) can hardly be overstated: a 230-kilometre road from Lake Louise to Jasper through the heart of the Rockies, it ranks as one of the world's ultimate drives. Its unending succession of huge peaks, immense glaciers, iridescent lakes, wild-flower meadows, wildlife and forests - capped by the stark grandeur of the Columbia Icefield - is absolutely overwhelming.
Took this LE shot on a overpass on 395 in Northern Virginia. From there I managed to get this shot GW Parkway. The lighting was spotty due to the fact that some of the lamp post did not turn on. I was trying to capture the sunsetting in the background and a vast array of light trails.

Awestruck. Driving home from Georgia to Minnesota on a stretch of the Blueridge Parkway in North Carolina, we were graced by scenes like this. The dilemma is, does one take pictures or sit in amazement? Did a little of both.
These conditions lasted about 45 minutes.
The Icefields Parkway (aka Highway 93) is 230 km long one of most spectacular drives in the world. It connects Banff National Park and Jasper National Park.

this shot was about 25 minute before sunrise no filters used here and the trees at this level were showing early spring leaves
755 km Blue Ridge Parkway is one of the most scenic routes in the United States. Here, the road passes through Pisgah National Forest near Asheville, North Carolina.
Friend Reid and I experienced this sunset from the Cowee Overlook mile 430.7, elevation 5950 ft. Pano of 3 horizontal pics.
A view looking S from the Big Hill, taken above the Big Bend. The sun broke thru the stormy skies to send this solar spotlight to nicely enhance the grandeur a bit.
This is near the north end of Banff Park as you climb up to Sunwapta Pass. Jasper Park starts before long.
One remarkable drive, the most scenic I've been on. Highly recommended.
Thanks for taking a look and for any comments or suggestions.
