I finally knocked off Linn Cove Viaduct from my Appalachian list. Linn Cove Viaduct is an iconic part of the Blue Ridge Parkway. Spanning over 1,200 feet it wraps around Grandfather Mountain. Ever since I saw a photo from here I've always wanted to see it. Just out of chance I was staying at a cabin only 20 minutes from here. So I got up at 6 am to get here for sunrise, which was fogged out, but after waiting a while turned spectacular. composite of 8 photos taken from drone.

A telephoto view of the foothills from Linn Cove Viaduct. I really loved the fog moving through and the sun rays.
Talk about a view! The view from Linn Cove Viaduct is spectacular. You get the rolling foothills of the Appalachians. With all the sun rays coming through it turned into a truly beautiful morning.
I love this photograph because of the lines it has in it. We can clearly see the lines from the fence leading us outwards into the mountains. When we begin to think of Appalachia, our minds tend to follow the path of stereotypes and judgement because that is what we have always seen others do. But in reality, we have no place to judge. I believe that this frames Appalachia as a contrast more than a similarity. Appalachia seems to not follow the lines or the status quo, but rather does its own thing. And, for many people, this makes them feel uncomfortable. But, as we can see, not following the lines will create a new culture. #appalachianechoes

Linville

This photo was taken just inside the Tennessee border. I had been staying at a cabin with my roommate and her family. We arrived at night at a time when I could not see the pond. When I woke up the next morning, we went outside and I was in awe of the beauty. It was bright, vibrant, and perfectly picturesque. The cabin we stayed in was hard to get to; it was on a one way gravel road up the side of a mountain. It is seemingly untouched, yet if I had turned the camera around, the viewer would notice power lines running up the side of the mountain. This picture seems to preserve the idea that Appalachia has not been touched by humans. #appalachianechoes

Beech Mountain

Beech Mountain

A small but wonderful park to stop at if you are in the area. There are several small waterfalls that are within short walking distance from the parking area. View a video of Waterfalls Park here: https://www.hdcarolina.com/episode/waterfalls-park #Green

The hike is so worth the view.....

Bakersville

Sunset after a snow on Roan Mountain via the Appalachian Trail.

Roan Mountain

A nice waterfall in the Wilson Creek area of the Pisgah National Forest. After a good rainfall this waterfall really puts on a good show. It also has a popular swimming hole just below the falls but it is very steep getting down to the creek.
