Rough Ridge

/0 Comments/in /by

On the Blue Ridge Parkway one morning near Blowing Rock I stopped at one of the many overlooks. From the parking lot, you can hear water running from some small cascades. I looked up and could seed a part of this bridge through the trees so I headed up the trail to check it out completely.

Price Lake at Night

/0 Comments/in , , , /by

Price Lake at night. This was probably 11:30 at night, but the nearly full moon was so bright it lit the scene as though it were day.

This was taken as an HDR, but instead of changing the shutter speed, I adjusted the ISO in between each photo. Then the 6 resulting photos were merged.

 

Price Lake is located on the Blue Ridge Parkway, near Blowing Rock, North Carolina

Flat Rock Sunset

This is a sunset from Flat Rock on the Blue Ridge Parkway. The trail head is located on the parkway, just south of Linville, North Carolina. A brief hike to this view (probably not even a mile) was rewarded with amazing views to the west.

Sunset from Humpback Rock

If you look closely at nearly the center of the photo, there is an opening in the trees. That’s the Blue Ridge Parkway and the entrance to the parking area for the hike up to Humpback Rock. It’s quite a hike, 2 miles uphill the entire way. But they view at the top is worth every step. Both sunset and sunrise can be seen from the rocks.

Rural Nights

I’ve photographed this barn before, but as soon as I found out that no one lived on this farm (its for sale for a cool $7 mil) I knew I wanted to get back at night time. This is only about 20 minutes worth of star trails, after that my lens began to fog up from the dew. The barn is lit with a hand-fired flash.

This photo can be purchased as a print HERE – feel free to look around at the others while you are there 🙂

 

St. Louis at Night

/0 Comments/in , , /by

So I only had a few hours to spend in St. Louis on Saturday. I knew I wanted an iconic shot, but I didn’t want the “classic” shot from across the Mississippi. So I was in search of something different that clearly says “St. Louis” but was also unique. I found this spot overlooking the old courthouse and loved the view that even included the famous Arch. A quick search on flickr provided no other photos from this view…

So here it is – St. Louis at Night

You can purchase this photo from the new St. Louis Gallery at my online store HERE

Roan Mountain

/0 Comments/in , , , /by

I love this view of the Roan Mountain Area. This was taken from Jane Bald and is looking at Round Bald and Roan High Knob.  Normally in June, the rhododendron bushes right in front here are covered in beautiful pink rhododendron flowers. I think I was a little late in a down year so I didn’t get to see many, but it’s still an amazing view.

Engine Gap Fog

I was so neat to stand up on Jane Bald and watch the clouds rolling in from the North Carolina side over to the Tennessee side. You can see the Appalachian trail in the photo coming down from Round Bald. It was such a beautiful morning to be up there!

 

You can purchase this photo HERE. Several others from East Tennessee are available there as well and more will be added soon.

 

Nature’s Fireworks

So much is happening in this sky – amazing clouds, fog, color, even a rainbow. Just an awesome evening on Round Bald in the Roan Highlands
