Blue Ridge Parkway

Last week-end I discovered the Blue Ridge Parkway North of Asheville, still in North Carolina. Here are some pictures…

Start of the day at Powhadan Lake where I slept Friday evening

Nice forest river on the trail

The “Blue Ridge Parkway” is a beautiful sightseeing road all long the Appalachianss. I drove to Mount Mitchell which is the higest mountain of Est America (about 6’500 feets high).

Typical light of dawn…

The “Crabtree Falls”

Short stop at “Little Switzerland”… 😉

I got a tasty expresso in a nice bokkstore cafe.

Sunday afternoon atLinville Falls, unfortunately with a poor light. I have to go back there another time…

A short ray of light on the way back…

So, that’s all for today… 😀

Labor Day weekend

Last weekend was off but I worked on Saturday and Monday. As I had Robert’s camper for the weekend, I took the opportunity to take a short break Saturday night and Sunday in the beautiful Pisgah National Forest, discovering southern Blue Ridge Parkway and the Great Smoky Mountains. Her are some pictures to illustrate this region that owes its name to the permanent hazy atmosphere due to the high moisture generated by these huge and beautiful forests …
