Twisted, jagged, rocky “crags” give Craggy Gardens its name, but these high elevation summits are home to the most spectacular floral display along the 469-mile Blue Ridge Parkway corridor.
The Great Craggy Mountains, commonly called the Craggies, are a mountain range in western North Carolina, United States. They are a subrange of the Blue Ridge Mountains and encompass an area of approx. 194 sq mi. They are situated in Buncombe County, North Carolina, 14 miles northeast of Asheville
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.

Going back and working through some old re-edits and found this pleasing composition. Switched it to black and white and played with the highlights to really get the drama of the scene on that rainy day.
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.

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.
“Roadiripophobia (r)
The fear of not having any road trips planned” -unknown.
Although we have been home for a month now, I do find myself getting itchy feet lately. . I shall have to be content with day trips for the winter. This is a scene from the Fundy Trail Parkway. While covering long distances on our road trips, there are times we just cannot not stop to take pictures. We need to prioritize. Consequently, I got better at taking pictures through our car windshield as the car is moving. I started an album to keep track of some the roads we have travelled over time. With a higher ISO to get the sharpness I needed and then some AI magic in editing, I got some decent results. This road was newly paved with lots of twists and turns. It was a dream to drive on.
This is an Autumn view from opposite Thunder Hill Overlook, elevation 3795’, milepost 290.4, Blue Ridge Parkway, North Carolina. The sun was setting to my left, but not visible from my vantage point. However, it cast beautiful warm light on the scene in front of me.
