Autumn is early this year in North Carolina! If you want to see the mountains in color, make your plans earlier.

This is Graveyard Fields on the Blue Ridge Parkway last week. (There’s a waterfall in the shadows, in the middle of the image.)

This is another shot of the mill (on the Blue Ridge Parkway) done in HDR (High Definition Range).

Maybry Mill on the Blue Ridge Parkway, milepost 176 in Virginia. Built by Ed Maybry over 100 years ago, provided cornmeal for the area.

This mill is one of the most photographed places on the parkway. It is just beautiful sitting there by the little pond!

Out enjoying the autumn color!

Craggy Gardens on the Blue Ridge Parkway last autumn. Reddish tones with the Mountain Ash Berries in bloom!

I was here last October and shot this panorama of the beautiful fall foliage and the viaduct.

The Blue Ridge Parkway is celebrating 75 years!

Craggy Gardens on the Parkway – In the fall, the Craggies turn red with a wonderful show of mountain ash berries that can cast redish tones over the entire area.

Parkway articles, stories and photos.

Here’s a great magazine that will be covering the parkway all year long.

They’ll be sharing stories and photos throughout the year so be sure to bookmark them and visit often.

Celebrating 75 Years! This year, the Blue Ridge Parkway is celebrating it’s 75th birthday. I’ll be posting lots of parkway photos over the next several weeks.

Enjoy!
