47818 leans into the curve at Didcot Parkway with 5Z52 0845 Neville Hill to Eastleigh Works on 17th May 2000.
Had a wonderful day out with Anita yesterday. We started along routes already well known to us then sidetracked down a little gravel, one track road that we hadn't seen before. Surprising us, it ended on the Blue Ridge Parkway. The Blue Ridge Parkway connects Shenandoah National Park to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, stretching 469 miles from Rockfish Gap, VA to Cherokee, NC. We decided to follow it home. But in typical fashion for us we got sidetracked again.......
Taken on the Blue Ridge Parkway between Little Switzerland and Linville Falls. I took a couple of shots before the sun came out from behind the cloud and was getting ready to walk away when the sun peaked out and lit up everything but the top of the hill. It put this picture over the top for me and I was glad I waited that moment longer.
Thanks for looking and enjoy.
Der Icefields Parkway ist ein 230 Kilometer langes Teilstück des Highway 93. Der Parkway gilt als eine der schönsten Fernstraßen der Welt und führt durch die Berglandschaft der kanadischen Rocky Mountains zwischen Lake Louise und Jasper.
A companion shot of sorts to my last post. This is a late afternoon view along the Blue Ridge Parkway near Brevard, NC.
Have a great weekend and thanks for looking!

Blue Ridge Parkway
North Carolina
We are fortunate to live minutes from two entrances to the Blue Ridge Parkway. We often take an afternoon drive on it or pack a picnic lunch to enjoy there. Many of the Overlooks have picnic tables.
Many people think the Smoky Mountains got their name because of the low clouds, but the real reason is the blue haze that is almost always present. You can see it in the far background in this shot.
The road at the upper left of the photo is also the Blue Ridge Parkway.
The Roaring Fork area of the Smokey Mountains Park is lush with large trees and other vegetation. The creek adjacent to the road is full of rocks covered in plant life presenting good photo opportunities. Green is beautiful!

This is what I was looking at, as seen in my previous post. I think it was worth taking in the view for a few minutes. I particularly liked how the moonlight was illuminating the rock walls along this stretch of the Blue Ridge Parkway.
This is a single exposure. For the curious, I haven’t posted an HDR in a long while. I’d have to look back through my stream a good ways to actually find the last time I posted one. I’m still fond of HDR. I just haven’t found the need to do so in a good while.
Thanks for looking!

The Blue Ridge Parkway has reopened to visitors! Spring wildflowers in a pasture are so colorful and attractive.
Traveled with a friend to Mabry Mill on the Blue Ridge Parkway to capture it in the snow. It was tough getting their as the Parkway was closed and the snow was pouring down, but I got a lot of nice photos. DSC_3880-001
Greater Anglia 720548 makes a speedy stop at Whittlesford Parkway working 2H65 20:53 Cambridge North - London Liverpool Street. (17/02/2022).
Tonight was not planned and quite rushed as I was meant to be going to Cambridge to do this tomorrow but because of the incoming storm, this wasn’t going to happen so we quickly rushed in the car and drove here to for a bit of fun. I only got about an hour at Whittlesford seeing some 720s, a 755 and a 317. I unfortunately got no shots of the 317 as it was coming in from Cambridge North meaning that it stopped right at the end of the platform, beyond the barrier, so I couldn’t get a nice shot. However, tonight wasn’t all bad as I got this shot out of it which has got to be my best long exposure and one shot I’m very pleased with!

...meandering north on the Blue Ridge Parkway this October chasing the light; gawking at vistas, pulling off then going on; always looking for photo possibilities, we finally parked off the road past the Linn Cove viaduct and spent some time soaking in the view...this image, one of several, is just a small portion of what we were privileged to see...

Seen on the trail around Abbott Lake near the Peaks of Otter Lodge on the Blue Ridge Parkway in Virginia.
This bridge is part of the Natchez Trace Parkway that runs from Nashville TN to Natchez MS (440 miles). The Natchez Trace Trail was created and used by Native Americans for centuries, and was later used by early European and American explorers, traders, and emigrants in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. The Parkway is maintained by U.S. National Park Service.
If Im out in the dark I always look for interesting clouds. I was at this location on the Blue Ridge Parkway in Bedford, VA photographing the Milky Way, and noticed this cloud, and thought it might look interesting as a long exposure.

...By late afternoon it was a completely different day, much to our delight. The clouds broke up and golden sunlight glazed across the landscape, bringing forth all the vivid color of autumn’s fingerprints on the mountains.
Every view, every hillside, every tree glowed with magical essence. The iconic Mabry Mill had a brilliant sparkle to it as the slowly turning waterwheel created that special music only running water can play. Heck, even the road itself beckoned to be captured like one of Jack Dawson’s French gals. 🍂
We drove south across the VA/NC state line, and then shortly after we had to say goodbye to the Blue Ridge Parkway and continue on our journey west back to Texas. But we journeyed on with a fresh dose of autumn in our hearts, and, my oh my...such good soul medicine. 💫

Watching a storm from the Blue Ridge Parkway can be spectacular. This was taken around MM 97 in Bedford County looking towards the southern end of the Goose Creek Valley. DSC_8230b-001.jpg
